Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 5/e (Paperback)

本書序言

• NEW INTER ACTIVE VIDEOS I have added 16 new Key Concept Videos (KCVs) and 24 new Interactive Worked Examples (IWEs) to the media package that accompanies the book. The video library now contains nearly 200 interactive videos. These tools are designed to help professors engage their students in active learning.
• NEW IN-CHAPTER QUESTIONS WITH FEEDBACK I have added approximately 67 new Conceptual Connection questions throughout the book and have changed the format to multiple choice (with wrong answer feedback in Mastering Chemistry). Each chapter now has 10-12 of these assignable questions. These questions transform the reading process from passive to active and hold students accountable for reading assignments.
• NEW MISSED THIS? FEATURE I have added a new feature called MISSED THIS? to the Self-Assessment Quizzes and to the Problems by Topic section of the end-of-chapter problems. This feature lists the resources that students can use to learn how to answer the question or solve the problem. The resources include chapter sections to read, Key Concept Videos (KCVs) to watch, and Interactive Worked Examples (IWEs) to view. Students often try to solve an assigned question or problem before doing any reading or reviewing; they seek resources only after they have missed the question or problem. The MISSED THIS? feature guides them to reliable resources that provide just-in-time instruction.
• NEW FOR PRACTICE FEEDBACK I have enhanced 64 of the in-chapter For Practice problems (which immediately follow an in-chapter worked example) with feedback that can be accessed through Mastering Chemistry.
• REVISED ART PROGRAM The art program has been extensively revised. Navigation of the more complex figures has been reoriented to track from left to right, and many figure captions have been broken up and have been moved into the image itself as an "author voice" that explains the image and guides the reader through it.
• REVISED DATA INTERPRETATION AND ANALYSIS QUESTIONS The Data Interpretation and Analysis questions that accompany each chapter have been extensively revised to make them clearer and more accessible to students.
• NEW SECTION ON DATA INTERPRETATION AND ANALYSIS I have added a new section to Chapter 1 (Section 1.9) on the general topic of analyzing and interpreting data. This section introduces the skills required to address many of the revised data interpretation and analysis questions.
• NEW HOW TO ... FEATURE All guidance for essential skills such as problem-solving techniques, drawing Lewis structures, and naming compounds is now presented in a consistent, step-by-step numbered list called How To ...
• REVISED CHAPTER 4 Chapter 4 in the previous edition covered both stoichiometry and chemical reactions in solution. In this edition, this content has been expanded slightly and has been divided into two more focused chapters, so that Chapter 4 is now focused on stoichiometry and Chapter 5 on chemical reactions in solution. This new organization lessens the cognitive load for students and allows each chapter to be more direct and focused. All subsequent chapters have been renumbered accordingly.
• NEW ACTIVITY SERIES CONTENT I added a new subsection to Section 5.9 entitled T he Activity Series: Predicting Whether a Redox Reaction Is Spontaneous. The new section includes new figures, tables, and a new worked example.
• NEW READY-TO-GO LEARNING MODULES These online modules offer students easy access to the best Tro content in Mastering Chemistry without needing to have it assigned.
• NEW TWO-TIER OBJECTIVES A system of two-tier objectives is being applied to the text and to the Mastering Chemistry assets. The two tiers are Learning Objectives, or LOs, and Enabling Objectives, or EOs. The Los are broad, high-level objectives that summarize the overall learning goal, while the EOs are the building block skills that enable students to achieve the LO. The learning objectives are given in the Learning Outcomes table at the end of the chapter.
• REVISED DATA All the data throughout the book have been updated to reflect the most recent measurements available. These updates include Figure 4.2: Carbon Dioxide in the Atmosphere; Figure 4.3: Global Temperatures;the unnumbered figure in Section 7.10 of U.S. Energy Consumption; Figure 7.12: Energy Consumption by Source; Table 7.6: Changes in National Average Pollutant Levels, 1990-2016; Figure 15.19: Ozone Depletion in the Antarctic Spring; Figure 17.15: Sources of UX Energy; Figure 17.16: Acid Rain; and Figure 17.18: U.S. Sulfur Dioxide Pollutant Levels.
• REVISED CHAPTER OPENERS Many chapter opening sections and (or) the corresponding art-including Chapters 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 18, 19, 20, and 22-have been replaced or modified.

本書特色

ㆍThree-part images - macroscopic, molecular, and symbolic - help students see the connections between the formulas they write down, the world they see around them, and the atoms and molecules that compose that world. These have now been revised to include figure captions as an instructor's voice and, in more complex images, to track from left to right.
ㆍA consistent problem-solving approach - Sort, Strategize, Solve, and Check - in a two- or three-column format helps students understand both the concept of and the solution to the problem.
ㆍConceptual Questions, 10-12 in each chapter, encourage active learning and hold students accountable for reading assignments, with over 60 new to this edition.
ㆍNEW! Missed This? --a feature added to the self-assessment and end-of-chapter problems that lists the resources that students can use to learn how to answer the question.
ㆍNEW! How To... -a feature that lists the steps for essentials like drawing Lewis structures and naming compounds in a consistent, step-by-step, numbered approach.
Available separately for purchase is Mastering Chemistry, the teaching and learning platform that empowers instructors to personalize learning for every student. Combined with trusted educational content, Mastering Chemistry helps students and instructors achieve their learning outcomes measurably.
Mastering Chemistry for Chemistry: A Molecular Approach includes
