INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY: A FOUNDATION combines enhanced problem-solving structure with substantial pedagogy to enable students to become strong independent problem solvers in the introductory course and beyond. Capturing student interest through early coverage of chemical reactions, accessible explanations and visualizations, and an emphasis on everyday applications, the authors explain chemical concepts by starting with the basics, using symbols or diagrams, and conclude by encouraging students to test their own understanding of the solution. This step-by-step approach has already helped hundreds of thousands of students master chemical concepts and develop problem-solving skills. The book is known for its focus on conceptual learning and for the way it motivates students by connecting chemical principles to real-life experiences in chapter-opening discussions and 'Chemistry in Focus' boxes.

    great product! used for my chem class. would recommend to others! I simply stuck this in an empty binder and it was as good as a hardcover textbook. caution though, when turning pages do so gently the pages are a bit fragile near the spine area when in the binder. other than that great product. would much rather have this than an expensive hardcover that i would never look at again when the semester ends.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Solid chemistry text.
    Reviewed in the United States on 25 June 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I am of the opinion that most good classes focus more on the instructor than on the textbook. That being said, a solid textbook is useful and should help develop intuitions to solve problems. That's kinda where I like this text.

    There are many different problems from each given chapter that an instructor could assign, but the practice problems here seem genuinely interesting because they're varied in their approach. I've come away from each session of homework feeling as if I actually learned something because I had ample opportunity to practice the ideas through the homework.

    I've had other textbooks where I only paid attention to them to look for facts that weren't mentioned in lecture. This is one of the few textbooks I actually go through looking for knowledge. Pretty sweet. That being said, some of the explanations in the book aren't very good and I had to reach outside of the book a few times. Overall I'm glad I bought a copy.
