Basic chemistry by timberlake 2nd edition

An innovative and intuitive approach to problem-solving used consistently throughout the book: A unique, color-coded Guide to Problem-Solving is given for each problem type discussed in the text. In each Sample Problem, solutions are mapped out step by step using color blocks that visually guide students through each problem-solving strategy. Study Check questions included with each sample problem immediately engage students and test their understanding of the problem-solving strategy.

Paired problem sets after each section encourage active learning and allow students to practice the concepts they have just learned before moving on to new material. Answers to study check questions and odd-numbered problems are included at the end of each chapter to give students immediate feedback and help them monitor their understanding of the content.

Applications to engage and motivate students: Career Focus interviews with engineers, doctors, veterinarians, and biochemists make chemistry relevant to students and show them why learning about chemistry is important to their career plans. ChemNote boxes throughout the text show students how chemistry is related to important health and environmental topics such as smog, global warming, and mercury poisoning. Illustrations containing macro-to-micro artwork provide students with a visual representation of chemical phenomena on the atomic level.

Questions that accompany the figures help students focus on the illustrated concepts. Student-friendly study tools: Looking Ahead outlines clearly state the topics covered in each chapter. Chapter review, key terms, additional problems, and summary of reactions are included in the end-of-chapter material to help students review their comprehension of the material. Learning goals clearly defined at the start of each section help students focus on the most important topics.

New to This Edition. Challenge questions at the end of each chapter are pitched at a slightly higher difficulty level and encourage teamwork and a collaborative learning environment in the classroom. Students will learn to work together as well as reap the benefits of seeing how other students approach problems. Understanding the Concepts questions test students understanding of the basic ideas of chemistry, not just their math facility in working quantitative problems.

Concept Maps at the end of each chapter provide a visual summary of the concepts in the chapter and how they relate to each other. About the Author s.
