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. Unlike other texts, it begins with a detailed picture of the atom then 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 now 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.

Features

Fundamentals Section preceding Chapter 1 provides a thorough treatment of basic principles for students’ review. These sections can be reviewed at the beginning of the course and referred to as needed throughout.


Flexible Use of Calculus
Calculus is used to illustrate appropriate topics and provide alternate, streamlined, or more advanced problem-solving method.
How Is That Done mathematical derivations are set apart from the body of the text making it easy for instructors to avoid or assign this material. All the calculus in the text is confined to this feature, so it can be avoided if appropriate.

End of chapter problems requiring calculus are marked with a "C" icon
 


Thinking Points encourage students to speculate about the implications of what they are learning and to transfer their knowledge to new situations.


What Does This Equation Tell Us? helps students to understand mathematical equations by pointing out how changing each variable in the equation affects the outcome.


Toolboxes show students how to tackle major types of calculations, demonstrating how to connect concepts to problem solving. They are designed as learning aids and handy summaries of key material. Each Toolbox is followed immediately by a related Example, which applies the problem-solving strategy outlined in the Toolbox and illustrates each step of the procedure explicitly.


Cumulative worked examples give students the opportunity to solve problems that combine concepts from two or more areas in the context of applications to medicine, biology, pharmacology, engineering, and the environment.

New to This Edition

New Modular Format
The new 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 student, 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.
