Chemistry provides a robust coverage of the different branches of chemistry with unique depth in organic chemistry in an introductory text helping students to develop a solid understanding of chemical principles, how they interconnect and how they can be applied to our lives.
"Covers Physical Chemistry in an accessible format for first years...good for covering the gap between varied levels of knowledge from different schools' curricula and the mcuh more demanding University courses." - Dr Ritu Kataky, DEPT OF CHEMISTRY, UNIVERSITY OF DURHAM
A new set of problems linking chemistry to daily life at the end of every chapter

Chemistry
Fourth Edition
Chemistry provides robust coverage of all aspects of a first year undergraduate chemistry course with unique depth in organic chemistry in an introductory text helping students to develop a solid understanding of chemical principles, how they interconnect and how they can be applied to our lives.
MASTERING CHEMISTRY
MasteringChemistry is the most advanced chemistry homework and tutorial system. Drawing on a research-enhanced library of problems that cover the entire general chemistry course, MasteringChemistry provides personal tutoring to students with immediate and specific feedback culminating in proven positive results.
See the guided tour inside to find out how Mastering Chemistry could help you.
Mastering proved to be a convenient, robust and totally reliable way of delivering weekly assignments covering all aspects of our first year course there was a tangible improvement in both the level of engagement and quality of learning ... in all, a great success.

Catherine E. Housecroft and Edwin C. Constable are both Professors of Chemistry at the University of Basel, Switzerland. They have extensive international teaching experience and their research interests include supramolecular and organometallic chemistries, nanotechnology, molecular devices and dye-sensitized solar cells. In 1997 Professor Constable was awarded the prestigious Howard lectureship for pre-eminence in organic chemistry or related disciplines by the University of Sydney, Australia.
'I have used this book extensively for my teaching in the areas of atomic and molecular orbital theory, descriptive inorganic chemistry and basic spectroscopy. In all of these I find the book to be very useful, providing clear descriptions and giving a resource for students to use outside lectures.' - Matthew Almond, University of Reading
