Engage your students in the active study of chemistry with CHEMISTY: THE MOLECULAR SCIENCE, Third Edition. Authors Moore, Stanitski, and Jurs infuse their text with timely applications that reveal chemistry as a lively and relevant subject that is fundamental to a broad range of disciplines-such as engineering, biology, and environmental science. With a modern approach that has won it accolades from instructors and students alike, CHEMISTRY: THE MOLECULAR SCIENCE was the most successful first edition general chemistry text published in the last decade. Its award-winning art program helps students visualize chemical processes at a molecular level, and the authors’ dedicated emphasis on content mastery is illustrated through a carefully developed problem-solving methodology that immerses students in the chemical thought process. The Third Edition continues with the authors’ proven and popular approach while adding new content, more visualization problems, updated applications, refined art, and new media integration through CengageNOW and OWL.
