Synopsis

A full-year course taken primarily by chemistry majors, other science majors (especially biology and pre-health), and engineering students. First introduced in 1995, McMurry/Fay's Chemistry is now recognized as one of the leading books in science education. The second edition refines the qualities that led to the text's success in the first place. "The text is a beautifully presented and well written general chemistry text. The chapter on gas laws, where the combination of narrative and illustrations leads the students to almost derive the Kinetic-Molecular theory on their own." (Mildred Hall, Clark State Community College.)

From the Back Cover

This is a beautifully presented and well-written general chemistry book. It offers a "thinking" or "conceptual" approach to problem solving in the world of chemistry. Effective, vibrant, and pedagogically sound illustrations helps to visualize chemical concepts. Computer-rendered graphics illustrate the relationship between the seen (macroscopic) and the unseen (atomic and molecular) chemical world. The illustrations establish a visual connection between the written descriptions of chemical phenomena and how the processes occur.
