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 content includes updated general stoichiometry patterns in Chapters 7, 10, 14 and 16, more in-depth coverage of nomenclature in Chapter 6, and expanded explanations of formulas and names for ionic compounds. 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. OWLv2, the most powerful online learning solution for chemistry now has more flexible student and instructor functionality, new personalized study tools, enhanced integration with learning management systems, and improved analytics. OWLv2 now includes ALL quantitative end-of-chapter questions from the book, as well as Quick Prep, an online short course that reviews key chemistry concepts and essential skills; new iPad-compatible visualizations, tutorials, and simulations; and new Adaptive Study Plans with multiple-choice questions that expand upon the book's Test Yourself questions. In addition, Tutors, Visualizations and Simulations have been converted from Flash to HTML, allowing for easier navigation and streamlined grading. 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. Chapter Summaries: This section at the back of the book includes summaries of each chapter's goals and key concepts, as well as chapter-specific self-tests and answers for extra practice. 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.
