Synopsis:

Learn chemistry actively while studying assignments with INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY. The authors' question-and-answer format is reflected in three words of advice and encouragement that are repeated throughout the book: Learn It Now! Each chapter includes an Everyday Chemistry section that illustrates how chemistry is applied in daily life. This edition integrates new features such as technological resources, coached problems, and enhanced art and photography, all of which dovetail with the authors' active learning approach.
