Résumé

Provides robust coverage of the different branches of chemistry - with unique depth in organic chemistry in an introductory text - helping students to develop a solid understanding of chemical principles, how they interconnect, and how they can be applied to our lives.

Features

Chapters are grouped into inorganic, physical and organic components, with integrating themes highlighted throughout. This provides flexibility and helps students to see the connections between different areas.
Topic boxes throughout the book highlight the applications of chemistry in industry, biology, the environment and laboratory. These help students to understand the relevance of chemistry to everyday life.
Worked examples throughout guide students through topics and help them to develop strong problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
Assumes minimal mathematical background, and explains any use of mathematics descriptively and using diagrams wherever possible. A Mathematics Tutor is also provided on the website to support students as they learn.
"Theoretical and Chemical Background" boxes highlight areas of interest and help to develop students' rounded knowledge of the subject.
End-of-chapter summaries and key words provide excellent tools for student revision, and to check their understanding.
End-of-chapter problems allow students to practice, and provide a useful resource for assigning homework.
The text is four-colour throughout with 3D computer-generated artwork, and is supported by CHIME graphics on the website, helping students to visualise the chemistry.
