Chemistry: The Central Science, 14th Edition + Chemistry: An Atoms-Focused Approach, 2nd Edition - 2-Book General Chemistry Set

Publisher: Pearson and W. W. Norton Condition: New Author: Theodore L. Brown, H. Eugene LeMay, Bruce E. Bursten, Catherine J. Murphy, Patrick M. Woodward and Matthew W. Stoltzfus; Thomas R. Gilbert, Rein V. Kirss, Natalie Foster and Stacey Lowery Bretz Format: Print, 2 volumes sold together Two general chemistry textbooks that approach the same first-year sequence from different starting points, useful for students comparing explanations or instructors evaluating course texts. Chemistry: The Central Science follows the traditional general chemistry order, beginning with matter, stoichiometry and reactions before moving to atomic structure, bonding, thermodynamics, kinetics and equilibrium. Chemistry: An Atoms-Focused Approach opens with atomic and molecular structure and builds the rest of the course outward from bonding, so that structure informs the treatment of reactivity and properties throughout. For first-year college chemistry courses, students who want a second explanation of difficult topics, and instructors reviewing texts for adoption.
