Description
CHEMISTRY, International Edition allows the reader to learn chemistry basics quickly and easily by emphasizing a thoughtful approach built on problem solving. For the Eighth Edition, authors Steven and Susan Zumdahl have extended this approach by emphasizing problem-solving strategies within the Examples and throughout the text narrative. CHEMISTRY, International Edition speaks directly to the reader about how to approach and solve chemical problemsuto learn to think like a chemistuso that they can apply the process of problem-solving to all aspects of their lives.
