Chemistry: The Central Science is the most trusted book on the market--its scientific accuracy, clarity, innovative pedagogy, functional problem-solving and visuals set this book apart.  Brown, LeMay, and Bursten teach students the concepts and skills they need without overcomplicating the subject.  A comprehensive media package that works in tandem with the text helps students practice and learn while providing instructors the tools they need to succeed.

TEXT FEATURES

Conceptual Framework

Students are given a consistent structure and guidelines to enhance comprehension.

  • What’s Ahead Sections — At the beginning of each chapter, these provide direction for studying the chapter and help students recognize key ideas and relationships of the topics within the chapter.
  • NEW! Give It Some Thought (“GIST”) Questions — Informal, sharply focused questions help students assess whether they are actually “getting it” as they study the material.
  • NEW! Visualizing Concepts exercises — Preceding the end-of-chapter exercises, these ask students to consider concepts through the use of models, graphs, and other visual materials.  
    •  These help students develop a conceptual understanding of the key ideas in the chapter. 
    • Additional conceptual exercises are found among the end-of-chapter exercises.
Problem Solving

To help students solve problems with confidence, the authors integrate problem-solving pedagogy throughout.

  • Analyze/Plan/Solve/Check Theme — Provides a consistent framework to help students understand what they are being asked to solve, to plan how they will solve each problem, to work their way through the solution, and to check their answers.
  • MORE Dual-Column Problem-Solving Strategies in Selected Sample Exercises — Found in selected Sample Exercises, these explain the thought process involved in each step of a mathematical calculation using a unique layout for clarity. It provides students a conceptual understanding of those calculations.
  • Strategies in Chemistry boxes — Teach studentsways to analyze information and organize thoughts, helping to improve problem-solving and critical-thinking abilities.
  • End-of-Chapter Exercises:
    • The next section of exercises is grouped by topic and presented in matched pairs, giving students multiple opportunities to test each concept. Additional Exercises follow the paired exercises and are not categorized, because many of these exercises draw on multiple concepts from within the chapter.
    • Integrative Exercises, which are included among the exercises at the end of chapters 3-25, connect concepts for the current chapter with those from previous chapters. These help students gain a deeper understanding of how chemistry fits together and serve as an overall review of key concepts.
    • Many chapters also contain a Sample Integrative Exercise to show how to analyze and solve problems that encompass more than one concept.
    • Answers are provided in the back of the book for red-numbered exercises. More challenging exercises are indicated by brackets around the exercise number. Answers for black-numbered exercises are only available in the Full Solutions Manual.
    • eMedia Exercises are answered by using the movies and simulations available in the student MediaPak. These questions foster student understanding through visual and interactive learning styles.
    • NEW! eLaboratory Exercises — Posed in a simulated laboratory setting — are answered using the ultra-realistic Virtual ChemLab software in the student MediaPak.
Visualization

The often-abstract nature of chemistry presents a challenge to many students. The Tenth Edition has been designed expressly to help students better visualize the chemistry required and thus help them succeed.

  • NEW! Multi-Focus Graphics — Concepts in the text that require a mental picture of different representations are presented through new Multi-Focus  graphics.
    •  In addition to a textual statement of key information, these new graphics include a representation from a variety of perspectives, including; macroscopic, microscopic, symbolic, and conceptual. Students develop a more complete understanding of the topic being presented.
  • Molecular Illustrations — Computer-generated renditions of molecules and materials provide visual representations of matter at the atomic level.
    • These drawings help students visualize molecules in three dimensions and enhance their understanding of molecular architecture.

Applications

Students are shown why chemistry is fundamental to understanding our environment, for new developments in technology, and in our society.

  • Chemistry and Life and Chemistry at Work boxes — Emphasize chemistry’s connection to world events, scientific discoveries, and medical breakthroughs.
  • A Closer Look essays — Supplement the chapter material by covering high-interest topics in more detail.

MasteringChemistryTM is not only an online homework system that tracks multiple parts of a single problem, it is also a tutoring system relying on the Socratic method of presenting students with simpler sub-questions to help guide them back on the right track. Furthermore, the system responds to common wrong answers with specific feedback, rather than one generic ?catch-all? response. The tutorial content is tested by thousands of students. During testing, we capture all student answer submissions and write/rewrite hints and feedback for their most common actual wrong answers. As a result, MasteringChemistry addresses not just where Chemistry instructors expect students to go wrong, but where they actually do go wrong. Our standard is that the tutorials guide at least 85% of students to the final, correct answer. We modify the hints and feedback until we achieve that goal, and we revisit the students? results regularly to ensure that we maintain it.

    McMurry/Fay helps students and professors get to the heart of chemistry more effectively and helps students see the connections to chemistry more clearly.

     

     

    McMurry/Fay is known for its smart and precise presentation that blends the quantitative and visual aspects of General Chemistry.  The 5th edition of McMurry/Fay builds on this foundation making the right connections in general chemistry topically, visually, and quantitatively.  Chemistry is mastered when students make the right connections in three key areas; topics that are related, conceptual reasoning with quantitative work, and the different modes of communicating information.  McMurry/Fay breaks through the boundaries traditionally imposed by textbooks that have historically made it difficult for students to make these connections on their own.  Topic Connections, Conceptual and Quantitative parallel presentation, and Text-Graphic Integration Objects make these critical connections clear and visible, so students see the chemistry the first time.  When you see the connections, you see the chemistry.

     

    Students don’t use textbooks exactly the same way they used them in the past.  The new layout of MF5 was designed to map to the way students seek and process information, and is based on conversations with students about the way they study.

    Tro provides students the support they need early so they can tackle challenging topics later. He does this by building on what students already know.

     

    The author’s goal in writing this book is to deliver the depth of coverage faculty want with the accessibility and clarity that students need for success.  Nivaldo J. Tro’s Chemistry: A Molecular Approach explains difficult chemical concepts in a concise and clear student-centered manner while also providing faculty with the flexibility to go more deeply into many key, often neglected topics, such as electron diffraction, molecular orbital theory, and free-energy changes under non-standard conditions.  Chemistry is presented visually throughmulti-level images (macroscopic, molecular and symbolic representations), which helps students see the connections among the formulas (symbolic), the world around them (macroscopic), and the atoms and molecules that make up the world (molecular).  Every aspect of this book focuses students on recognizing that the behavior of matter is based on the behavior of atoms and molecules.
