Reflecting Cengage Learning\'s commitment to offering flexible teaching solutions and value for students and instructors, this new hybrid version features the instructional presentation found in the printed text while delivering all the end-of chapter exercises online in OWLv2, the leading online learning system for chemistry. The result--a briefer printed text that engages students online! Help your students improve their grades and understanding of concepts with this value-packed Hybrid Edition. An access code to OWLv2 with MindTap Reader, is included with the text, providing students with powerful online resources that include tutorials, simulations, randomized homework questions, videos, a complete interactive electronic version of the textbook, and more! The Eighth Edition of Zumdahl and DeCoste\\\'s best-selling INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY: A FOUNDATION combines enhanced problem-solving structure with substantial pedagogy to enable students to become strong independent problem solvers in the introductory course and beyond. Capturing student interest through early coverage of chemical reactions, accessible explanations and visualizations, and an emphasis on everyday applications, the authors explain chemical concepts by starting with the basics, using symbols or diagrams, and conclude by encouraging students to test their own understanding of the solution. This step-by-step approach has already helped numerous students master chemical concepts and develop problem-solving skills. The focus on conceptual learning and motivating students by connecting chemical principles to real-life experiences in chapter-opening discussions and "Chemistry in Focus" boxes require students to think through the Example step-by-step rather than simply scan the written Example in the text as many students do.

  • New "Critical Thinking" boxes have been added at point-of-use throughout the text to emphasize the importance of conceptual learning. These are particularly useful for generating class discussion.
  • In Section 8.4 "Learning to Solve Problems" is written specifically to help students better understand how to think their way through a problem.
  • In Chapter 9, the treatment of stoichiometry has been enhanced by the addition of a new section on limiting reactants, which emphasizes calculating the amounts of products that can be obtained from each reactant. Students are taught how to select a limiting reactant both by comparing the amounts of reactants present and by calculating the amounts of products that can be formed by complete consumption of each reactant.
  • The authors have revised a significant number of the end-of-chapter questions (over 10%) while adding a new section for ChemWork problems, which are also available online.
  • The Eighth Edition is now supported by both OWL: Online Web Learning, the number one online learning system for chemistry, and Enhanced WebAssign. Both are available with e-books.
  • Exercises and models such as worked-out examples, self-check exercises, and skill development boxes support the authors' step-by-step problem-solving method.
  • End-of-chapter material includes key terms, a summary of important facts, questions and problems are arranged in matched pairs and keyed to chapter sections, additional problems that incorporate material from multiple sections, in-class discussion questions, new ChemWork problems, and "Cumulative Reviews" that test concepts from preceding chapters.
  • The text builds and refreshes fundamental math skills such as scientific notation, rounding, and rearranging equations. In addition, Math Tips, indicated by icons throughout, help students as they perform calculations.
  • The textbook was given a thorough review and reworded in some places to enhance the content. Many margin notes were subsumed into the core text in this process. All key terms were checked and updated as needed.
  • The book is also available in alternative versions: BASIC CHEMISTRY, which covers chemical concepts and applications through acids and bases (Chapters 1-16) and INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY, which also covers equilibrium, oxidation-reduction reactions, electrochemistry, radioactivity, and nuclear energy (Chapters 1-19).
  • The book's full color art program has been modified and updated as needed to better serve visual learners. In addition, the art has been reconfigured for better clarity, glassware illustrations have been updated, and the orbital art has been redesigned all according to a new art and style program. Many new photos have been updated to give the textbook more relevance while also providing a contemporary look.
  • The text's hallmark problem-solving pedagogy is enhanced by in-text examples that suggest what questions the students should be asking as they solve problems.
  • Almost all of the in-text examples are now "Interactive Examples" and available online. These computer-based examples throughout the text require students to think through the Example step-by-step rather than simply scan the written Example in the text as many students do.
