NEW "CRITICAL THINKING" QUESTIONS provide a greater emphasis on the importance of conceptual learning. NEW CHEMWORK EXERCISES, which can be worked using the online system or as pencil-and-paper problems, test students’ understanding of core chapter concepts. NEW ATOMS FIRST MARGIN NOTES throughout the text enhance teaching and learning using an atoms first approach. NEW ATOMS FIRST BOXED FEATURES "CONNECTING TO ATOMS" help students understand how varying chapter content works together under an atoms first approach through a summary of key concepts at point-of-use, which provides both a review of atoms first concepts and a glimpse of what is ahead. ENHANCED ONLINE LEARNING: The #1 online homework and learning system for chemistry, OWLv2, is available for this text--and now features more flexible student and instructor functionality, new personalized study tools, enhanced integration with learning management systems, and improved analytics. OWLv2 for this text also includes Quick Prep, an online short course that reviews key chemistry concepts and essential skills, new Adaptive Study Plans, hundreds of new interactive versions of the text's end-of-chapter questions, and new tutors, visualizations, and simulations that have been converted from Flash to HTML, allowing for easier navigation and streamlined grading.
