Chemistry: The Core Concepts
Synopsis
This textbook is an attempt to provide a rigorous but learner-friendly introduction to Chemistry. This textbook should serve the needs of science and non-science majors alike.
• the very first concepts are defined in simple terms that even someone with a minimal background in science can understand
• the order of presentation of topics is meticulously chosen so that sufficient background has been provided by the time each new concept is introduced
• examples are immediately provided to illustrate and/or apply each new concept
• "test yourself" questions provide additional reinforcement; links to videos explaining the answers are provided
• "study resources" provide study tips and links to useful and interesting websites
• additional study questions provided in the companion website (i-assign.com) can be assigned as computer-graded homework
• useful physics and math background/review, often relegated to appendices in typical textbooks, are integrated into the development of the topics The companion website, i-Assign.com, is a web-based homework delivery and collection system, as well as a test bank authoring system and test generator. The automation afforded by i-Assign reduces a teacher's workload while providing the following benefits.
• By setting periodic deadlines for graded homework, teachers are able to encourage students to study on a regular basis and focus on a manageable amount of material.
• Teachers can set up practice homework to give students more opportunities for mastery.
• Homework and test individualization minimizes cheating.
• Teachers can add their own questions.
• Multiple versions of a test, which can be printed or delivered online, can be easily generated.
