For courses in General Chemistry. General Chemistry, Fourth Edition presents chemistry to match how students learn - visually (by seeing) and through practice (by doing). Its problem-solving pedagogy is the most supportive available, providing an array of resources to assist students as they learn to solve problems and as they actively assess their progress. Its visuals are designed to help students see unseen chemical processes and it relates chemistry to other disciplines and to students better than any other book.
