Reach every student by pairing this text with Modified Mastering Chemistry Mastering(tm) is the teaching and learning platform that empowers you to reach every student. By combining trusted author content with digital tools developed to engage students and emulate the office-hour experience, Mastering personalizes learning and often improves results for each student. Instructors ensure students arrive ready to learn by assigning educationally effective content before class, and encourage critical thinking and retention with in-class resources such as Learning Catalytics. Learn more about Mastering Chemistry. New - 66 Dynamic Study Modules help students study effectively on their own by continuously assessing their activity and performance in real time. Students complete a set of questions with a unique answer format that also asks them to indicate their confidence level. Questions repeat until the student can answer them all correctly and confidently. These are available as graded assignments prior to class and are accessible on smartphones, tablets, and computers.

Tutorial topics include key math skills as well as a refresher of general chemistry concepts such as understanding matter, chemical reactions, and understanding the periodic table & atomic structure. Topics can be added or removed to match your coverage. Over 460 tutorials help students develop their understanding of Quantum Chemistry and Thermodynamics. Numerous end-of-chapter questions help assess student understanding of the concepts and reinforce their problem-solving skills. Problems and simulations require students to generate graphs, answer questions, or write short essays to demonstrate their understanding of the material. Each Mastering problem includes exercises and can be assigned by the instructor. About the Book New - Math Essentials provide a review of relevant math skills, offer "just in time" math help, and enable students to refresh math skills specifically needed in the chapter that follows. Math Essentials is eleven two- to five-page sections that replace the previous edition''s Math Supplement and appear in the text just before students require the corresponding math skills.

New - Concept and Connection feature presents students with a quick visual summary of the most important ideas within each chapter. Highlighted in the margin, 10-15 of the most important concepts and connections in each chapter attract students attention to them. New - 27 Conceptual Questions and Numerical Problems appear in End-of-Chapter Problems.RevisedNumerical Problems are now organized by section number within chapters to make it easier for instructors to create assignments for specific parts of each chapter. Updated - Introductory chapter material makes the importance of the chapter clear to students at the beginning of each chapter with a set of three questions that include responses. Revised - Figures improve clarity with many providing additional annotation to help tie concepts to the visual program. Key Equations allow students to focus on the most important of the many equations in each chapter. An end-of-chapter table that summarizes Key Equations and flags in red type where the equations appear in the body of the chapter.

A Further Reading list , added to each chapter, provides references for students and instructors who would like a deeper understanding of various aspects of the chapter material. Modern applications-drawn from biology, environmental science, and material science- help give Physical Chemistry immediate relevance to students. An emphasis on problem solving includes: Numerous Worked Examples and highlighted Key Equations throughout help students understand the math and develop their own problem-solving skills. Concept Questions, Quantitative Problems , and a unique set of problems related to the web-based simulations and animations at the end of each chapter offer students a variety of study and assessment resources. Additional math-development resources , available in an Appendix, that provide a quick reference. Current research is featured throughout along with new developments in the field, such as gap engineering, quantum dots, quantum wells, teleportation, and scanning tunneling microscopy to reflect the vibrancy of the field today. Coverage of Computational Chemistry , including a distinct chapter written by Warren Hehre, transforms the teaching of chemical bonding and molecular structure from qualitative to quantitative. Many chapters include computational problems for which detailed instructions for the student are available in Mastering Chemistry for Physical Chemistry.

Research applications emphasize the dynamic nature of the field, and demonstrate the relevance of basic principles. Check out the preface for a complete list of features and what''s new in this edition.
