Nivaldo J. Tro Books

Chemistry is the science of matter - composition, structure, properties, and how it changes. This book boils it down to its essential elements - in just 30 seconds.

Emphasizing the significance of the molecular world in everyday life, this updated edition offers a clear connection between atoms, molecules, and contemporary scientific issues. It addresses major technological and environmental challenges, enhancing understanding of complex concepts. Innovative study aids, including Self-Check questions, OWLv2 Adaptive Study Plans, and new online Big Picture videos, support learners in mastering course material effectively.

Offering a rigorous and accessible treatment of general chemistry in the context of relevance, this text helps students to see the connections among the formulas (symbolic), the world around them (macroscopic) and the atoms and molecules that make up the world (molecular). For courses in chemistry. Nivaldo Tro's Chemistry: A Molecular Approach presents chemistry visually through multi-level images-macroscopic, molecular, and symbolic representations ? to help students see the connections between the world they see around them, the atoms and molecules that compose the world, and the formulas they write down on paper. Interactive, digital versions of selected worked examples instruct students how to break down problems using Tro's unique "Sort, Strategise, Solve, and Check" technique and then complete a step in the example. To build conceptual understanding, Dr. Tro employs an active learning approach through interactive media that requires students to pause during videos to ensure they understand before continuing. The 5th Edition pairs digital, pedagogical innovation with insights from learning design and educational research to create an active, integrated, and easy-to-use framework. The new edition actively engages students in becoming expert problem solvers and makes it possible for professors to teach the general chemistry course easily and effectively

This book aids students in grasping scientific, technological, and environmental challenges by elucidating the links between the molecular and microscopic worlds. It emphasizes the relationship between fundamental principles and their practical applications, fostering a deeper understanding of how these elements impact society.
