By using Mastering, you can boost your academic performance, stay engaged with your coursework, and manage your study time more efficiently.

Robinson/McMurry/Fay's Chemistry, known for a concise and united author voice, conceptual focus, extensive worked examples, and thoroughly constructed connections between organic, biological, and general chemistry, highlights the application of chemistry to students' lives and careers. Lead author Jill Robinson strengthens the student orientation by creating more engaging, active learning opportunities for students and faculty.

With the 8th Edition, Robinson draws upon her exceptional teaching skills to provide new interactive experiences that help identify and address students' preconceptions.

Key features

• Extension of Conceptual Worked Examples help students move away from memorisation as a primary problem-solving method by explicitly showing them the relationship between similar but related concepts and procedures while facilitating their ability to recognise and respond to these challenges.
• In-chapter Conceptual Worked Examples give students their first exposure to working through problems to develop an understanding of the chapter's concepts. Many of the worked examples include a step called conceptual apply.
• In-chapter Conceptual Problems give students an immediate opportunity to solve problems that test their understanding of chemical concepts.
• End-of-chapter Conceptual Problems give students an opportunity to test that they understand all the major concepts in the chapter before moving on to the multi-concept problems that require this understanding.
