Foundations of College Chemistry, Alternate, 13th EditionJanuary 2010, ©2010
  |
Foundations fits into the prep/intro chemistry courses which often include a wide mix of students from science majors not yet ready for general chemistry, allied health students in their 1st semester of a GOB sequence, science education students (for elementary school teachers), to the occasional liberal arts student fulfilling a science requirement. Hein/Arena was specifically designed to meet this wide array of needs.

3. Elements and Compounds.
4.Properties of Matter.
5. Early Atomic Theory and Structure.
6. Nomenclature of Inorganic Compounds.

Index.
• Previous chapter 3 content(physical states, classification of matter) has been moved to chapter 1 to provide a stronger emphasis on matter
• New section added to Chapter 3 to provide a clear framework for problem solving.
• New Problem Solving Strategy boxes to highlight how to think about working chemistry problems.
• New Rules boxes added to emphasize the procedures used in chemistry nomenclature and mathematics.
• Examples have be rewritten using the new overall approach to problems solving and incorporate the use of the Problem solving Strategy boxes.
• 15-20% new of the end of chapter problems
• Additional Catalyst problems added to end of chapter problems to highlight the connection of the text to on-line study materials
• Updated molecular art and glassware
• More macro-molecular art, where appropriate
• Step-by-step approach to problem solving
• Varied levels of questions and problems
• Worked-out examples relating to the real world
