Chemical Principles: The Quest for
Insight Peter Atkins, Loretta Jones Third Edition
|
|
|
Chemical principles, Third Edition, engages
students in the excitement of chemistry as a dynamic and living discipline,
with an emphasis on modern techniques, applications, and problem solving.
Created with a focus on challenging students at just the right level, the
features of this new edition include: * A unique
atoms-first sequence starts with the behavior of atoms and molecules and builds to more complex properties
and interactions. This
logical presentation of the concepts of chemistry enhances student
understanding. |

* Fundamentals
sections preceding the first
chapter provide a streamlined overview of the basics of chemistry. These sections can be
used as a review to which students can refer for help or they can be used in class as a
quick survey of background material before presentation of the main text. * Integrated media
links throughout the text direct students to Web-based resources. These
links now include questions
that can be answered best by using the media. * New double-column
Solutions in many worked examples help students see how a problem
unfolds. The left-hand column explains each step of a
problem qualitatively; the right-hand column implements each step
numerically. The Strategy section helps students visualize how to approach
the problem. * More advanced
problems per chapter offer instructors a greater selection and students
more opportunity to challenge
themselves. Those problems that require the use of
calculus are a highlighted for ease in assigning problem sets. * Impact on
Materials sections, Impact on Biology sections, and Frontiers
of Chemistry essays highlight life sciences, and chemistry. |
