A unique and effective way to learn Chemistry—updated with the latest instruction and review

Must Know High School Chemistry provides a fresh approach to learning. As part of our Must Know series, this new edition makes sure what you really need to know is clear up-front. Rather than starting with goals to be met, chapters begin by telling you the most important concepts about the topic at hand—and then show you exactly how these concepts help you accomplish your goals.

Written by expert chemistry educators, Must Know High School Chemistry, Second Edition provides updated lesson content and useful examples to help clarify each topic. Every chapter closes with reinforcing exercises to get you the practice you need to gain confidence. New features to this edition focus on extra support and helping you avoid common mistakes. In the end, you get everything you need to build your chemistry skills quickly and painlessly.

Features:

More than 350 practice questions that parallel what you will find in your classwork and on examsBonus app that includes 100+ flashcards to reinforce concepts“Extra Help” and “Easy Mistake” features put the emphasis on how to improve and what pitfalls to avoidChemistry topics aligned to national and state educational standardsPractical examples throughout and an answer key with explanations make sure you understand the topicsConversational writing style and informative IRL (In Real Life) and BTW (By the Way) sidebarsA special section for teachers with tips and strategies on teaching the material and content-specific links and resources

General Chemistry: Understanding Moles, Bonds, and Equilibria, Volume 1 introduces students to foundational concepts in chemistry with emphasis on real-world application. Throughout the text, students learn how the study of chemistry supports material science, forensics, medicine, and other disciplines.The text is organized into 13 chapters that can be taught traditionally or in a non-linear fashion. Topics include the scientific method, atoms, mass and molecules, aqueous solutions, gases, thermochemistry, electrons in atoms, and electron configuration. Students learn about chemical bonding, molecular geometry, liquids and solids, and mixtures.The book features problems that span multiple chapters, topic boxes that contain worked examples, concurrent presentation of the VSEPR and Valence Bond theories to allow each to reinforce the other, and integration of environmental topics within distinct sections of appropriate chapters. Introductions, summaries, problems, application examples, and meaningful appendices further facilitate student learning, rendering General Chemistry an ideal textbook for foundational chemistry courses.General Chemistry: Understanding Moles, Bonds, and Equilibria, Volume 2 is a continuation of this text with further coverage of equilibria, thermodynamics, nuclear chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry and biotechnology.

General Chemistry: Understanding Moles, Bonds, and Equilibria Student Solution Manual, Volume 1 is a companion solution manual to General Chemistry: Understanding Moles, Bonds, and Equilibria, Volume 1. Original problems from the textbook are included alongside detailed explanations and useful base knowledge required to successfully solve each problem. The material in this manual implements the innovative presentation of the material given in the companion textbook. Unlike nearly all chemistry solution manuals on the market, this volume is written by one of the textbook authors.This solutions manual can also be used as a source of additional problems to supplement any foundational chemistry text or course, including AP chemistry. It provides students with ample opportunity to build knowledge and mastery of basic chemistry concepts.

General Chemistry: Understanding Moles, Bonds, and Equilibria, Volume 2 introduces students to foundational concepts in chemistry with emphasis on real-world application. Throughout the text, students learn how the study of chemistry supports material science, forensics, medicine, and other disciplines.The text is a continuation of Volume 1 of the same name. This volume includes 11 chapters that can be taught traditionally or in a non-linear fashion. Topics include kinetics, chemical and acid-base equilibrium, and solubility and complex ion equilibria. Dedicated chapters address thermodynamics and equilibrium, electrochemistry and equilibrium, transition metals and coordination chemistry, nuclear chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry and biotechnology.The book features problems that span multiple chapters, topic boxes that contain worked examples, concurrent presentation of the VSEPR and Valence Bond theories to allow each to reinforce the other, and integration of environmental topics within distinct sections of appropriate chapters.
