"Chemistry: The Molecular Science" provides a contemporary approach for teaching general chemistry. The "Think Molecule" approach is reinforced throughout the text to help students develop an understanding of chemistry, rather than simply learn by rote. Analogies with everyday objects are given to enable students' to grasp the difficult concepts. Features include: numerous three-dimensional drawings of atoms and molecules; molecule-based problem solving strategies; and section exercises and chapter problems to test what the reader has learned.
