Principles of Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, Global Edition, 4th edition

Actively engage students in learning chemistry

• Streamlined coverage of all the necessary topics required for a general chemistry course makes this presentation ideal for professors who want a book that only covers the topics they need. At only 21 chapters, this text has no separate nonmetals, metals or coordination compounds chapters.

Help students move from novice to expert problem-solvers

• New - Missed This? feature appears in the end-of-chapter Self Assessment Quizzes and each odd-numbered Problems by Topic exercise. Missed This? provides sections to read and videos to watch to help students remediate where necessary.
• Tro’s four-step “Sort, Strategize, Solve, and Check” problem-solving approach in the worked examples helps students connect the chemistry concepts to the problem and to its solution by developing an explicit conceptual plan for each problem. This method helps students understand where to start a problem and to think through the solution rather than simply formula hunting based on the given information.

Empower students to visualize and understand chemistry

• New Chapter 5 creates more topically-focused coverage—Chemical Reactions and Solutions have been divided into two separate chapters (now Chapters 4 and 5): one on chemical reactions (including stoichiometry), and another on solutions (including aqueous reactions). This new organization allows a sharper focus in each chapter and reduces the cognitive load for students.
• Multipart images include symbolic, macroscopic, and molecular perspectives that are fundamental to visualizing and understanding chemistry.
  • Extensively updated art program better directs students’ attention to key elements in the art and promotes understanding of the processes depicted. Dozens of figures in the 4th Edition were reviewed by learning design specialists to ensure they are clearly navigable for students and now include more helpful annotations and labels to help readers focus on key concepts.Tro’s multipart images help students see the relationship between the formulas they write down on paper (symbolic), the world they see around them (macroscopic), and the atoms and molecules that compose the world (molecular).
  • Abundant molecular-level views show students the connection between everyday processes visible to the eye and the behavior of atoms and molecules.

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