Synopsis

This book helps you promote a spirit of scientific discovery. New scientific discoveries do not usually begin with models; they begin with data and a spirit of intellectual curiosity. In much the same way, Spencer, Bodner, and Rickard's "Chemistry: Structure and Dynamics, Third Edition" presents data, and challenges students to derive the models. Built on the recommendations of the American Chemical Society's "Task Force on the General Chemistry Curriculum", this innovative approach helps students get a feel for how chemists approach problems in the real world. This Third Edition is now revised with a new chapter on materials science and increased coverage of nuclear chemistry.Here's how it works: Data-driven approach - unlike traditional books that present theory, questions, and then applications, this text starts with the data and derives the theory from it. Students start with observations, just like scientists; concise, flexible format - the text is briefer than most current general chemistry texts (Coverage focuses on the core topics of general chemistry, with optional coverage of special topics also available); and, an emphasis on core themes - these themes include the process of science, the relationship between molecular structure and physical/chemical properties, and the relationship between the microscopic and macroscopic levels.Also available "Chemistry: A Guided Inquiry, Third Edition" By Richard S. Moog and John J. Farrell. Using a classroom-guided inquiry approach, this ideal accompaniment to "Chemistry: Structure and Dynamics" features 62 ChemActivities covering all the core general chemistry topics. These ChemActivities provide a variety of ways to promote a student-focused, active classroom.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Promote a spirit of scientific discovery

New scientific discoveries do not usually begin with models; they begin with data and a spirit of intellectual curiosity. In much the same way, Spencer, Bodner, and Rickard s Chemistry: Structure & Dynamics, Third Edition presents data, and challenges students to derive the models. Built on the recommendations of the American Chemical Society s Task Force on the General Chemistry Curriculum, this innovative approach helps students get a feel for how chemists approach problems in the real world.

This Third Edition is now revised with a new chapter on materials science and increased coverage of nuclear chemistry.

Here s how it works:

• Data–driven approach: Unlike traditional books that present theory, questions, and then applications, this text starts with the data and derives the theory from it. Students start with observations, just like scientists.
• Concise, flexible format: The text is briefer than most current general chemistry texts. Coverage focuses on the core topics of general chemistry, with optional coverage of special topics also available.
• An emphasis on core themes: These themes include the process of science, the relationship between molecular structure and physical/chemical properties, and the relationship between the microscopic and macroscopic levels.
