Foundations of College Chemistry

Foundations of College Chemistry, 16th Edition presents chemistry as a modern, vital subject and is designed to make introductory chemistry accessible to all beginning students. It is intended for students who have never taken a chemistry course or those who had a significant interruption in their studies but plan to continue with the general chemistry sequence. The central focus: to make chemistry interesting and understandable and teach students the problem-solving skills they will need.

The authors build on the strengths of previous editions, including clear explanations and step-by-step problem solving. There is a clear emphasis on relating chemistry to the real world as the authors develop the principles that form the foundation for the further study of chemistry. Enhanced materials with new authored interactive features and additional case studies in many chapters encourage students to engage students in this learning style.
