Accurate, data-driven authorship with expanded interactivity leads to greater student engagement.
Unrivaled problem sets, notable scientific accuracy and currency, and remarkable clarity have made Chemistry: The Central Science the leading general chemistry text for more than a decade. Trusted, innovative, and calibrated, the text increases conceptual understanding and leads to greater student success in general chemistry by building on the expertise of the dynamic author team of leading researchers and award-winning teachers.
New to this edition
- Eight chapters cover organic chemistry in depth, ranging from an overview of hydrocarbons to their advanced applications in modern industry as well as biological processes. An additional ninth chapter covers spectroscopy and gives the instructor the freedom to discuss technological details if it matches their pedagogical style.
- Ready-to-Go Modules for the book include modules on specific organic-chemistry content presented in-depth for the first time. These provide ready-made content on select topics to help the instructor introduce a concept to their students.
- Section-opening text and images enhance students' understanding of the concepts introduced in that section and explicate the historical contexts around key inventions and discoveries in chemistry.
- End-of-section Exercises and Self-Assessment Exercises bring assessment closer to the key pedagogical takeaways from each section.
- How To features offer step-by step guidance for solving specific types of problems such as Drawing Lewis Structures, Balancing Redox Equations, Naming Acids, etc. These features, with numbered steps wrapped by a thin rule, are integrated into the main discussion and are easy to find.
- A Closer Look features have been updated to reflect recent news and discoveries in the field of chemistry, providing relevance and applications for students.
- End-of-chapter questions often give students the chance to test whether they understood the concept or not.
- Enhanced art creates clarity and provides a cleaner more modern look with details that include white-background annotation boxes with crisp, thin leaders plus richer and more saturated colours in the art, and expanded use of 3D renderings.
- Annotations offer more detailed explanations; new leaders emphasise key relationships and key points in figures.
- Before/after photos more clearly show characteristics of endothermic and exothermic reactions. Added reaction equations connect the chemistry to what's happening in the photos.
