Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 3rd Edition, Nivaldo Tro

,

Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 3rd Edition by Nivaldo J. Tro explains challenging concepts in a student-oriented manner. Nivaldo Tro creates a rigorous and accessible treatment of general chemistry in the context of relevance and the big picture.

Chemistry is presented visually through multi-level images–macroscopic, molecular, and symbolic representations–helping students see the connections between the world they see around them (macroscopic), the atoms and molecules that compose the world (molecular), and the formulas they write down on paper (symbolic).

The hallmarks of Dr. Tro’s problem-solving approach are reinforced through interactive media that provide students with an office-hour type of environment built around worked examples and expanded coverage on the latest developments in chemistry. Pioneering features allow students to sketch their ideas through new problems, and much more.

Author shows students why chemistry is important to them, to their future careers, and to their world. When discussing the composition of compounds. Tro references chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and their impact on the earth’s ozone layer. The deterioration of the ozone layer is put into a relevant context for students, explaining why CFCs are dangerous to our environment while applying this example to the explanation of mass percent composition.

Tro’s relevant examples and applications help students connect chemistry with their lives. Various chemical topics are discussed throughout the text such as Chemistry in the Environment which emphasizes the chemical impact of acid rain on the environment or the legislation requiring the gasoline additive MTBE.

Other interest topics include Chemistry in Medicine, Chemistry in Your Day, and the Nature of Chemistry, all of which highlight current issues facing chemists and citizens. Tro applies these issues to chemical concepts and puts into context the chemistry students study and how chemistry impacts the world.

Sort, Strategize, Solve, and Check approach helps students relate the concept of the problem to the solution through an explicit conceptual plan for each problem. This method helps students understand where to start when given a problem and to think through solving the problem rather than simply formula hunting based on the given information.
