Jason Overby – författare

Chemistry continues a long-standing tradition of providing a firm foundation in the concepts of chemical principles while instilling an appreciation for the important role chemistry plays in our daily lives. This text provides a balance of theory and application, while illustrating the principles with applicable examples. With this release, no longer will students be confused about which particular chemical value to employ in a calculation when using ALEKS. The data between the print text, eBook, and ALEKS are now parallel with one another. Numerous tables, figures, and problems throughout the text have been updated to mirror the data in ALEKS, thereby presenting unified chemical data.

Julia Burdge's Chemistry: Atoms First provides a consistentand logical method for teaching general chemistry. Theatoms first approach starts with the fundamental buildingblock of matter, the atom, and uses it as the stepping-stone tounderstanding more complex chemistry topics. Once masteryof the nature of atoms and electrons is achieved, theformation and properties of compounds are developed. Onlyafter the study of matter and the atom will students havesufficient background to fully engage in topics such asstoichiometry, kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamics.Revisions throughout the text to align the data to the ALEKSdata values strengthen its integration with ALEKS.ALEKS features Personalized Learning, Custom QuestionAuthoring, Video Assignments, Virtual Labs, and more!

The new fifth edition of Chemistry: Atoms First by Burdge and Overby builds further on the success of the first four editions. The Atoms First approach provides a consistent and logical method for teaching general chemistry. This approach starts with the fundamental building block of matter, the atom, and uses it as the stepping-stone to understanding more complex chemistry topics. Once mastery of the nature of atoms and electrons is achieved, the formation and properties of compounds are developed. Only after the study of matter and the atom will students have sufficient background to fully engage in topics such as stoichiometry, kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamics. The text is strengthened by its offering in ALEKS, now featuring Custom Question Authoring, Video Assignments, Virtual Labs, and more!
