• Guided Inquiry Activities precede each chapter, offering an alternative approach to learning the material in the noted Chapter section. These activities guide students through an exploration of the given information to develop chemical concepts, and then apply the developed concept to further examples.
–These activities engage students and facilitates a more student-centered environment in the classroom.
–All of the information to answer the questions in these activities can be found in previous sections, or directly in the activity itself in the form of information, a data set, or a model. •Math Matters boxes have been integrated throughout the chapters offering optional tutorial information for students who may not be as comfortable with certain math skills, such as unit conversion, significant figures, percentages, and logarithms. http://www.dropshippers.co.za/

• Sample Problems with stepped-out solutions are included throughout the text to help students reinforce their problem-solving skills. http://www.dropshippers.co.za/

• A set of Questions and Problems at the end of every section enables students to apply problem solving skills to the concepts in that section. By working the problems after each section, students can immediately reinforce newly learned concepts rather than waiting until the end of the chapter. http://www.dropshippers.co.za/

• Many problems in the text have a Matched Pair Problem—a similar type of question or problem that reinforces the newly introduced concept.
–For each pair, the answer for the odd-numbered problem is located at the end of each chapter rather than at the end of the textbook.
–Checking answers gives students immediate feedback on problem-solving success.
–The answers to the even-numbered problems are not in the text, so instructors may use these problems for homework and/or quiz questions.• End-of-Chapter Problems at the end of every chapter encourage students to think about the concepts they have just learned.
–The Additional Problems provide in-depth questions that integrate the topics from the entire chapter to improve your understanding and critical thinking.
–Challenge Problems provide in-depth study and may also be used in cooperative learning environments.
–The Study Guide contains additional learning exercises for every section, and worked-out solutions for all the odd numbered problems. The Instructor’s Manual has the solutions to all the problems in the text.• Macro-to-Micro Art Illustrations help students visualize chemistry. Students see how the function and behavior of everyday objects are organized at the atomic and molecular level. This helps put the molecular world into context, making connections between the atomic world we cannot see and the macroscopic world we can see. http://www.dropshippers.co.za/

• MasteringChemistry® steps students through problem solving while promoting understanding of chemical concepts outside of the classroom.
—The MasteringChemistry tutorial system helps students figure out where they are going wrong when problem solving by providing answer-specific feedback and coaching. By offering feedback specific to wrong answers given, MasteringChemistry tutorials coach 85% of students to the correct answer.
—The program enables professors to compare their class performance against the national average on specific questions or topics. At a glance, professors can see class distribution of grades, time spent, most difficult problems, most difficult steps and even the most common answer. http://www.dropshippers.co.za/
