Chemistry: The Central Science with MasteringChemistry® (12th Edition)

The science of matter and its chemical reactions, properties, structure, and composition is made easier for students to digest in the renowned and highly recommended textbook, Chemistry: The Central Science with MasteringChemistry (12th Edition). Authors Theodore L. Brown with H. Eugene H LeMay, Bruce E. Bursten, Catherine Murphy, and Patrick Woodward created this reliable reference to help students pass the subject, using a straightforward manner of presenting key concepts (like atoms, molecules, ions, and stoichiometry) without compromising clarity and scientific preciseness. New exercises and case studies pertaining to molecular geometry and bonding theories, chemical kinetics, and chemical equilibrium have been carefully picked and added to the book to encourage students to think critically and apply what they have learned. Highly advanced concepts such as nuclear chemistry and electrochemistry are also integrated in the latter chapters for intermediate learners. Chemistry: The Central Science with Mastering Chemistry (12th Edition) - ISBN 9780321741059 covers contemporary perspectives on thermochemistry, the basic concepts of chemical bonding, and the chemistry of life. The team of authors is composed of prolific educators Theodore L. Brown, H. Eugene H LeMay, Bruce E. Bursten, Catherine Murphy, and Patrick Woodward; each of them have their own fields of expertise, but still manage to use a unified tone in putting together this cutting-edge reference. This edition has been updated with online assessment and tutorial tools, where students can test their understanding on the basics - from liquids and intermolecular forces, chemical bonding, and solids and modern materials, down to the chemistry of nonmetals.
