The deliberate inclusion of more, and updated, real-world examples to provide students with a significant relationship of their experiences with the science of chemistry. Simultaneously, examples and questions have been updated to align them with career concepts relevant to the environmental, engineering, biological, pharmaceutical and medical sciences.

Providing students with transferable skills, with a focus on integrating metacognition and three-dimensional learning into the text. When students know what they know they are better able to learn and incorporate the material. Providing a total solution through WileyPLUS with online assessment, answer-specific responses, and additional practice resources.

The 8th edition continues to emphasize the importance of applying concepts to problem solving to achieve high-level learning and increase retention of chemistry knowledge. Problems are arranged in a confidence-building order.
