More About This Textbook

Overview

Conceptual Chemistry provides a fresh, insightful, and welcoming look into the concepts of chemistry at a level suitable for readers who tend to shy away from science courses. Emphasis is placed upon a conceptual understanding of our every day world from the perspective of atoms and molecules. Twelve core chapters cover basic chemical concepts such as atomic models, chemical bonding, and chemical reactions. These are followed by seven chapters organized around chemistry-related topics, such as nutrition, drugs, agriculture, water resources, the atmosphere, commercial materials, and sources of energy. The end-of-chapter study material for each chapter is extensive and includes Matching Key Terms, Review Questions, Insights to Hands-On Chemistry activities, Exercises, Suggested Readings and Websites, and, for select chapters, Problems and Discussion Topics.

Editorial Reviews

Booknews
This beginning chemistry textbook builds a conceptual base from which the non-science student may view nature more perceptively by helping them visualize the behavior of atoms and molecules and showing how this behavior gives rise to the macroscopic environment. Chemistry concepts are developed in a storytelling fashion with the frequent use of analogies and illustrations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
