Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, Global Edition (4^th Ed.)

For courses in Chemistry.

Building 21st Century Data Analysis and Problem-Solving Skills in Modern Chemistry

The Fourth Edition of Niva Tro’s Chemistry: A Molecular Approach reinforces students’ development of 21st century skills including data interpretation and analysis, problem solving and quantitative reasoning, applying conceptual understanding to new situations and peer-to-peer collaboration.

Nivaldo Tro presents chemistry visually through multi-level images–macroscopic, molecular, and symbolic representations–helping students see the connections between the world they see around them (macroscopic), the atoms and molecules that compose the world (molecular), and the formulas they write down on paper (symbolic). The benefits of Dr. Tro’s problem-solving approach are reinforced through digital, Interactive Worked Examples that provide students with an office-hour type of environment and expanded coverage on the latest developments in chemistry. New Key Concept Videos explain difficult concepts while new end-of-chapter problems including Group Work questions and Data Interpretation and Analysis questions engage students in applying their understanding of chemistry. The revision has been constructed to easily incorporate material for instructors and students to engage in Before, During, and After class activities.

MasteringChemistry™ is not included. Students, if MasteringChemistry is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN and course ID. MasteringChemistry should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.

MasteringChemistry from Pearson is the leading online homework, tutorial, and assessment system, designed to improve results by engaging students before, during, and after class with powerful content.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Chemistry: A Molecular Approach uses the following features to facilitate learning:

• Tro’s captivating writing style captures student attention and teaches students core concepts through accessible language.

• UPDATED! Tools for active learning have been enhanced throughout the book, allowing students to dive into the material in an engaging and effective way.

• Discussion of topics such as derivation of ideal gas laws from non-molecular energy, molecular orbital theory, and simplifying assumptions in equilibrium calculations ease students into major chemistry concepts.

A clear, student-focused text relates core chemistry topics to the real world and potential careers.

• NEW! Solids and Modern Materials Chapter covers current topics in this specialized field of chemistry. An advisory board of Material Chemists consulted with Tro to provide professional insight into chapter discussions.

• Tro discusses topics that make chemistry relevant to students’ lives, such as its relation to food and the environment.

• Opening sections of each chapter relate the key topic to a relevant theme of real-world importance.

NEW! 21^st century skills reinforced and developed through end-of-chapter problems.

• Data Interpretation and Analysis Problems help students build skills in analyzing and interpreting data. Today’s students can access huge amounts of data all the time, but can they und
