With Chemistry: Structure and Properties, author Nivaldo Tro tells the story of chemistry with an atoms-first approach to learning chemistry, emphasizing that matter is composed of particles and the structure of those particles determines the properties of matter. This relationship is the thread that weaves all of chemistry together and is applied to all aspects of the text.

The 3rd Edition presents interactive digital features that will guide you through key concepts and the problem-solving process. Updates reflect current research on the COVID-19 vaccine and an extensive diversity, equity and inclusion review.
