Description
Written for general chemistry courses, this text should help students to develop chemical insight by showing the connections between chemical principles and their applications, both in the laboratory and the world around us. the author begin with a detailed picture of the atom before moving on to the macroscopic topics of thermodynamics and kinetics. They continually demonstrate how to solve problems and encourage students to question, reason and think visually about the concepts they learn.
