Chemistry: A Molecular Approach presents chemistry visually through macroscopic, molecular and symbolic multi-level images to help students see the connections between chemistry and the world around them. Nivaldo Tro's consistent problem-solving approach (sort, strategize, solve, check) and active learning tools engage students in becoming expert problem solvers and critical thinkers.
The 6th edition presents interactive digital features that guide students 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.
Actively engage students
- Conceptual connections and self-assessment quizzes give students practice studying as they extinguish misconceptions and deepen understanding of key topics.
Develop expert problem-solvers
- 4-step problem-solving approach (sort, strategize, solve, check) connects concepts to the problem and solution by developing a conceptual plan for each problem.
- 2 & 3 column worked examples break down problem-solving steps: the 1st column outlines the problem-solving procedure and reasoning behind each step; the 2nd and 3rd columns show how to implement the steps with examples.
Visualize chemistry
- Multipart molecular images depicted through macroscopic, microscopic and symbolic perspectives help students better visualize and understand chemistry.
