Synopsis

Specially updated to integrate with OWL (Online Web Learning) and its accompanying integrated eBook, this Enhanced Edition of Steven S. Zumdahl's market-leading CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES, SIXTH EDITION offers a qualitative-to-quantitative approach that helps students with solid mathematical preparation and prior exposure to chemistry learn to think like chemists. This edition's unique organization, strong emphasis on models, thoughtful, step-by-step approach, and focus on everyday applications work together to build the conceptual understanding students need to succeed in the course.

About this title

Review:

My sense is that the topics are pitched at an appropriate level. The writing style is crisp and to the point whereas the art, tables, and end of chapter problems nicely support the written text. The writing style is lucid, direct, precise, and non-verbose. Some other introductory chemistry texts adopt a verbose presentation with the attendant loss of clarity. The students who are floundering and to whom I have recommended Zumdahl invariably come away with an enhanced understanding of the relevant chemical concepts after a thorough encounter with this text. This is the singular text that does not compromise discipline of mind and contains flashes of insight and brilliance reminiscent of the Linus Pauling series of introductory texts, and yet is conceptually and algebraically accessible to most students with a good background in high school chemistry.
