Synopsis:

Russo and Silver turn chemistry into a memorable story that provides the quantitative rigor and conceptual understanding students need to master key concepts. As they read, students make the connections between concepts and problem-solving techniques. The text weaves interesting applications and well-designed illustrations into the narrative to get and hold student attention, and builds student confidence with integrated learning activities.

In the new edition students will find enhanced support for quantitative problem-solving and more challenging questions at the end of each chapter, in addition to the wealth of technology-based support on The Chemistry Place™, Special Edition and on The Chemistry of Life CD-ROM.
