Building 21^st Century Data Analysis and Problem-Solving Skills in Modern Chemistry

The Fourth Edition of Niva Tro's Chemistry: A Molecular Approach reinforces development of 21^st century skills including data interpretation and analysis, problem solving and quantitative reasoning, applying conceptual understanding to new situations and peer-to-peer collaboration.

Nivaldo Tro presents chemistry visually through multi-level images-macroscopic, molecular, and symbolic representations-helping readers see the connections between the world they see around them (macroscopic), the atoms and molecules that compose the world (molecular), and the formulas they write down on paper (symbolic). The benefits of Dr. Tro's problem-solving approach are reinforced through digital, Interactive Worked Examples that provide an office-hour type of environment and expanded coverage on the latest developments in chemistry. New Key Concept Videos explain difficult concepts while new end-of-chapter problems including Group Work questions and Data Interpretation and Analysis questions engage readers in applying their understanding of chemistry. The revision has been constructed to easily incorporate material to engage readers.
