Description
Introductory Chemistry, Fourth Edition uses an engaging narrative and stunning illustrations that make this a text students will actually read. Written from an atoms-first approach, the authors focus on the concepts behind chemical equations to help students become more proficient problem solvers. Unlike other books that emphasize rote memorization of problem-solving algorithms, this text helps students master the quantitative skills and conceptual understanding needed to gain a deeper understanding of chemistry.
