Chemistry

Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter, International Adaptation continues to emphasize the importance of applying concepts to problem-solving to achieve high-level learning and increase retention of chemistry knowledge. The inclusion of more, and updated, real-world examples provide students with a significant relationship of their experiences with the science of chemistry. Additionally, end-of-chapter review questions integrating scientific practices, cross-cutting concepts, and chemistry core ideas to relate the ideas presented in each chapter to the wider fields of science have been updated to align them with career concepts relevant to the environment, engineering, biological, pharmaceutical, and medical sciences. Problems have been arranged in a confidence-building order.
