Teach the course your way with INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY, 6e. Available in multiple formats (standard paperbound edition, loose-leaf edition, digital MindTap Reader edition, and a hybrid edition, which includes OWLv2), this text allows you to tailor the order of chapters to accommodate your particular needs, not only by presenting topics so they never assume prior knowledge, but also by including any necessary preview or review information needed to learn that topic. The authors' question-and-answer presentation, which allows students to actively learn chemistry while studying an assignment, is reflected in three words of advice and encouragement that are repeated throughout the book: Learn It Now! This edition integrates new technological resources, coached problems in a two-column format, and enhanced art and photography, all of which dovetail with the authors' active learning approach. Even more flexibility is provided in the new MindTap Reader edition, an electronic version of the text that features interactivity, integrated media, additional self-test problems, and clickable key terms and answer buttons for worked examples.

Teach the course your way with INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY, 6e. Available in multiple formats (standard paperbound edition, loose-leaf edition, digital MindTap Reader edition, and a hybrid edition, which includes OWLv2), this text allows you to tailor the order of chapters to accommodate your particular needs, not only by presenting topics so they never assume prior knowledge, but also by including any necessary preview or review information needed to learn that topic. The authors' question-and-answer presentation, which allows students to actively learn chemistry while studying an assignment, is reflected in three words of advice and encouragement that are repeated throughout the book: Learn It Now! This edition integrates new technological resources, coached problems in a two-column format, and enhanced art and photography, all of which dovetail with the authors' active learning approach. Even more flexibility is provided in the new MindTap Reader edition, an electronic version of the text that features interactivity, integrated media, additional self-test problems, and clickable key terms and answer buttons for worked examples. New end-of-chapter “Frequently Asked Questions” anticipate students’ questions on the chapter’s most challenging concepts and problems. Each question includes an answer from the author, with tips for remembering key concepts or solving key problems. A new “Quick Quiz” feature in the Everyday Chemistry boxes asks students to think critically about the featured topic. (Answers are provided in the Instructor’s Manual.) A new Key Terms List now appears at the end of each chapter and is clickable in MindTap Reader. Active Examples: Teaching core chemical skills, these two-column examples allow students to first actively work through and complete steps in the right column, and then see the answer to each step in the left column, thereby receiving immediate feedback about their understanding of the concept as it is being formed. The first frame is labeled "Think Before You Write" and encourages students to slow down and analyze the problem statement before working on the solution. Each example is titled so that students can better identify the concept or problem-solving skill they are learning and can easily locate specific concepts to review when preparing for exams. Flexible Format: The book has been structured so that any common sequence of topics is supported, allowing you to present topics in any order you prefer. P/Review Cross-References: A supplement to the optional order of topics, these icons and accompanying marginal explanations placed at key points throughout the book are worded carefully to serve as both a preview and a review of key concepts, so that you may easily teach the topics in whatever order you wish. Learn It Now! Reminders: Placed throughout the book, these brief, highlighted sections ask students to make a conscious effort to learn, understand, and fix in their minds the important idea they just learned. "Thinking About Your Thinking" Comments: Designed to encourage students to think the way chemists do and focus on critical thinking, these features help students develop broad thinking skills they can apply to new contexts in future chemistry courses, other academic disciplines, and throughout their lives. Section-ending "Target Check" Questions: These questions enable students to check their understanding of a topic immediately after studying the section. Although used primarily for concepts rather than problems, where immediate feedback usually appears in an example, some Target Checks are problems that vary slightly from the examples they follow.
