Chemistry: Principles, Patterns, and Applications represents the next step in general chemistry texts, with an emphasis on contemporary applications and an intuitive problem-solving approach that helps students discover the exciting potential of chemical science. The book features modern applications, early integration of examples from organic and biochemistry, and a strong approach to problem solving that moves away from rote memorization to a thorough understanding of key concepts and recognition of important patterns. The worked examples throughout each chapter show students how to develop strategies and thought processes that will enable them to solve problems both quantitatively and conceptually.

The text incorporates fresh up-to-date applications from the three major areas of modern research: materials, environmental chemistry, and biological science. The authors integrate the applications early in the text and consistently throughout each chapter to engage students’ interest and stimulate their curiosity. The unparalleled art program includes illustrations created with the most modern molecular software available and the use of authoritatively recognized databases.
