Look Inside Look Inside Chemical Principles by Peter Atkins; Loretta Jones; Leroy Laverman - Seventh Edition, 2016 from Macmillan Student Store

Written for calculus-inclusive general chemistry courses, Chemical Principles helps students develop chemical insight by showing the connections between fundamental chemical ideas and their applications. Beginning with a detailed picture of the atom, Chemical Principles builds toward chemistry’s frontier, continually demonstrating how to solve problems, think about nature and matter, and visualize chemical concepts as working chemists do. It also offers an exceptional level of support to help students develop their mathematical and problem-solving skills.
For the new edition, Chemical Principles takes a modular approach, with coverage organized as a series of brief Topics within 11 major areas of focus, including a refresher on the fundamentals of chemistry and an online-only section on techniques.

Chemical Principles  is now supported in Achieve, Macmillan’s new online learning platform, Achieve is the culmination of years of development work put toward creating the most powerful online learning tool for chemistry students.  Achieve includes an interactive e-Book as well as our renowned assessments.

New to This Edition

Chemical Principles  is now supported in Achieve, Macmillan’s new online learning platform, Achieve is the culmination of years of development work put toward creating the most powerful online learning tool for chemistry students.  Achieve includes an interactive e-Book as well as our renowned assessments. Instructors can assign or download instructor resources and take advantage of powerful analytics and quick insights to inform teaching.

The new seventh edition of Atkins, Chemical Principles includes:

Achieve combines acclaimed automatically graded online homework with a powerful e-book and an extensive suite of engaging multimedia learning resources. Problems feature hints for when students get stuck, answer-specific feedback to help them learn from their mistakes, and solutions to reinforce what they’ve learned.

New Modular Format

  • The seventh edition presents its material in 85 Topics modules, organized into 11 Focus areas. This makes the text more flexible for instructors, who now can easily teach or skip topics as their course requires, and easier for students, with briefer Topics modules making homework assignments more manageable. The Focus section on techniques is available online.

Road Maps

  • Each Focus begins with a map that illustrates the interconnectedness between each topic. Instructors can use this feature to determine how best to move through the text.

Interludes

  • The applications sections appear between Focuses and show how chemistry is put to work in a variety of modern contexts.

Two-Column Approach for Kinetics vs. Thermodynamics

  • Specific to Focus 5, a two-column approach juxtaposes kinetics vs. thermodynamics in the coverage of chemical equilibrium, equilibrium calculations, and the response of equilibria to changes in conditions.
