Principles of Chemistry: A Molecular Approach (PNIE) 2/e [Tro] 9781292026244

• A streamlined, brief text that covers all the necessary topics required for a one- or two-semester general chemistry course, for the professor who wants a book that only covers the topics they need. At only 20 chapters, this text has no separate nonmetals, metals or coordination compounds chapters.
• Tro's engaging writing style entices the reader into the chemistry by discussing a relevant, real-life example first. He then weaves in the chemistry into relevant examples and problems thus providing a context for greater understanding and comprehension.
• Annotated molecular art and multipart images help students see the relationship between the formulas they write down on paper (symbolic), the world they see around them (macroscopic), and the atoms and molecules that compose that world (molecular).
• Two- and three-column problem solving examples help students understand the logic and purpose of each step in the problem-solving process.
• Tro acts as the voice of the professor by providing the written explanation of how to solve the problem in the left-hand column.
• In the right-hand column, Tro solves in parallel the problem as it was just described in the left-hand column. This simulates the in-class experience when a professor works a problem on the board and explains each step along the way.
• Tro's procedure maps not only work out a problem for students, but also apply the same methodology to another problem side by side.
