Product Information
Chemistry(3) tackles head-on two issues pervading chemistry education: the students' mathematical skills, and their ability to see the subject as a single, unified discipline. Instead of avoiding the maths, Chemistry(3) provides structured support, in the form of careful explanations, reminders of key mathematical concepts, step-by-step calculations in worked examples, and a Maths Toolkit, to help students get to grips with the essential mathematical element of chemistry. Frequent cross-references highlight the connections between each strand of chemistry and explain the relationship between the topics, so students can develop an understanding of the subject as a whole. Uniquely amongst the introductory chemistry texts currently available, Chemistry(3) is written by a team of chemists to give equal coverage of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry - coverage that is uniformly authoritative. The approach to organic chemistry is mechanistic, rather than the old-fashioned 'functional group' approach, to help students achieve a fuller understanding of the underlying principles. New to this edition: Frequent cross-links to an extensive bank of online resources, which help readers to visualize molecular structure and gain a deeper understanding of reaction mechanisms, have been added. Screencasts, in which authors talk through selected examples and key reaction mechanisms step-by-step, and relevant video content are directly linked to from the text via QR code images. Certain new topics have been added, including Raman spectroscopy and retrosynthesis, as well as new and updated examples of chemistry in context. At the end of chapters, new questions have been added, with more challenging ones indicated with an asterisk, and key equations are now summarized in a table.Product Identifiers
