A thorough grounding in the fundamentals in any discipline is crucial. Chemistry is no exception. This Sixth Edition reflects the author's continuing emphasis on the introductory chemistry course as the most important of all that chemistry students will take. Continual revision is necessary, and it has been rewritten to improve clarity and update the material presented in previous editions. Based on feedback from students and professors alike, the material is now offered in a different sequence and end of chapter questions have been revised and expanded. It continues to provide a dynamic, interesting, and relevant view of the subject matter and the environment with the major theme being the introduction, explanation, and illustration of the problem-solving methods of beginning chemistry. Approaches to solving chemical problems by reasoning, and the unit-equation, factor-label, or dimensional-analysis methods are explained in detail with numerous examples incorporated. Relevant examples, analogies, and special topics continue to reinforce, introduce, and illustrate chemical concepts.
