Chemistry

Today's students use textbooks differently than their predecessors. Chemistry, Sixth Edition is designed to map to the way students seek and process information. McMurry/Fay's text helps students and professors get to the heart of chemistry more effectively, and helps students see the connections to chemistry more clearly. With its spacious, unintimidating design and clear, direct writing style, this text is known for a smart, precise presentation that blends the quantitative and visual aspects of general chemistry. Chemistry is mastered when students make the right connections in three key areas: topics that are related, conceptual reasoning with quantitative work, and the different modes of communicating information. McMurry/Fay's Chemistry, Sixth Edition breaks through the traditional textbook limitations and help students make connections that have historically been more difficult. Features like Remember..., Conceptual Problems, Conceptual Worked Examples, Inquiry and Worked Examples make these critical connections clear and visible, so students see the chemistry the first time.1.
