Chemical Principles : The Quest for Insight

Written for general chemistry courses, Chemical Principles helps studetns develop chemical insight by showing the connections between chemical principles and their applications, both in the laboratory and the world around us.

Peter ATkins and Loretta Jones, best-selling authors of Chemistry: Molecules, Matter and Change 3/e, begin with a detailed picture of the atom before moving on to the macroscopic topics of thermodynamics and kinetics.

They continually demonstrate how to solve problems and encourage students to question, reason, consider nature and matter, and think visually about the concepts they learn.

A CD-ROM designed to further equip students for chemical enquiry is packaged with every text.
