Book Description

For one-semester courses in Preparatory Chemistry
Builds 21st century and problem solving skills, preparing students for success
Now in its 6th Edition, the best-selling
Introductory Chemistry continues to encourage student interest by
showing how chemistry manifests in students daily lives. Author Nivaldo
Tro draws upon his classroom experience as an award-winning instructor
to extend chemistry from the laboratory to the students world,
capturing student attention with relevant applications and an engaging
writing style. The text provides a superior teaching and learning
experience, enabling deep conceptual understanding, fostering the
development of problem-solving skills, and encouraging interest in
chemistry with concrete examples. Extending chemistry from the lab to
the students world, the text reveals that anyone can master chemistry.
Refined to meet its purpose of teaching relevant
skills, the 6th Edition includes new questions, data, and sections to
help students build the 21st century skills necessary to succeed in
introductory chemistry and beyond. Already a visual text, in this
edition the art has been further refined and improved, making the visual
impact sharper and more targeted to student learning. The new edition
also includes new Conceptual Checkpoints, a widely embraced feature that
emphasizes understanding rather than calculation, as well as a new
category of end-of-chapter questions called Data Interpretation and
Analysis, which present real data in real life situations and ask
students to analyze and interpret that data.
