Books with title Essentials of General Chemistry

Essentials of General Chemistry is the ideal choice for instructors who want a shorter, less expensive core text that still supports a typical one- or two-semester general chemistry course. The text covers the same topical scope as Ebbing/Gammon, General Chemistry, and retains all of its hallmark qualities, including its focus on quantitative problem solving, conceptual understanding, and visualization skills. The new technology program reinforces the approach of the text and provides a complete solution for teaching and learning.The Second Edition retains the hallmark pedagogical features of the text and builds upon its conceptual focus. In addition, figures and interactive animations in the updated art program help students connect molecular-level activity to macro-scale phenomena. The new technology program offers access to tutoring, assessment, and presentation tools through the comprehensive Eduspace Course Management tool?instructors can also choose selected resources for use separately via CD or the Web.Conceptual understanding is further emphasized throughout the Second Edition and its technology program with a separate section of new Conceptual Problems appearing in the printed and computerized Test Bank.Answer Checks follow selected Examples throughout the chapters in the text. They appear after the Solution and are designed to help students evaluate their answer to ensure that it is reasonable.Figures, drawings, and photos in the art program help students connect molecular-level activity to macro-scale phenomena. Animations in the student and instructor technology supplements also enhance students' ability to visualize molecular behavior.Based on instructor feedback, 60?70 percent of the material from Chapter 13, "Materials of Technology" and from Chapter 23, "The Transition Elements and Coordination Compounds" has been divided into two new chapters: Chapter 21, "Chemistry of the Metals" and Chapter 22, "Chemistry of the Nonmetals."A suite of integrated technology tools for students and instructors includes materials (except restricted testing items) that are web accessible, with passwords included in the media guides. In addition, to meet instructor needs, the Media Integration Guide for Instructors includes CDs containing all teaching resources.To ensure that students devote more time to their study of chemistry, key elements of the technology are assignable. In the classroom, instructors can gauge student progress though a Classroom Response System. Online homework within Eduspace?using either end-of-chapter questions or practice exercises based on in-text examples?can be tracked and graded. Even new animations?now with skill-building exercises?can be assigned.To support you and your students as you use our technology, we offer implementation services from our TeamUP support staff, as well as media integration guides for both students and instructors, along with textbook web sites.Eduspace (powered by Blackboard) includes problems that cover all key concepts in the text. Through the Eduspace program, instructors can create their own assignments and post them for students to complete at a designated time. The problems in Eduspace include algorithmic end-of-chapter questions, exercises based on the in-text examples, and Test Bank questions to ensure consistency of level and coverage. Questions can be graded and entered into the online gradebook automatically. Eduspace also includes additional course management and interactive communication tools.WebCT and Blackboard course cartridges include all the material on both the student and instructor web sites, as well as the HM Testing Test Bank.

"An excellent text, highly recommended." — ChoiceWhen it was first published, this first-year chemistry text revolutionized the teaching of chemistry by presenting it in terms of unifying principles instead of as a body of unrelated facts. Those principles included modern theories of atomic and molecular structure, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and thermodynamics. In addition, Dr. Pauling attempted to correlate the theories with descriptive chemistry, the observed properties of substances, to introduce the student to the multitude of chemical substances and their properties.In this extensively revised and updated third edition, the Nobel Prize–winning author maintains an excellent balance between theoretical and descriptive material, although the amount of descriptive chemistry has been decreased somewhat, and the presentation of the subject, especially in relation to the nonmetals, has been revised in such a way as to permit greater correlation with the electronic structure of atoms, especially electronegativity.The principles of quantum mechanics are discussed on the basis of the de Broglie wavelength of the electron. The quantized energy levels of a particle in a box are derived by means of a simple assumption about the relation of the de Broglie waves to the walls of the box. No attempt is made to solve the Schrödinger wave equation for other systems, but the wave functions of hydrogen-like electrons are presented and discussed in some detail, and the quantum states for other systems are also covered. Statistical mechanics is introduced before thermodynamics, and the discussion of thermodynamics is based on it. This arrangement reflects the author's belief that beginning students can understand statistical mechanics better than chemical thermodynamics. Aimed at first-year college students who plan to major in chemistry or closely related fields, the book is written in a logical, clear, and understandable style. In addition, many excellent figures are included, along with numerous problems and 75 pages of appendices covering such topics as symmetry of molecules and crystals, hybrid bond orbitals, and magnetic properties of substances.
