Description
For the ninth edition of this text/CD-ROM package, material on difficult concepts has been rewritten and enhanced with improved artwork. The art program has been expanded with more computer-generated molecular models, charge distribution maps, and greater emphasis on three-dimensional representations in the line art. Chapter-opening summaries are new to this edition, and there are more conceptual and integrative exercises, as well as updated media exercises, and dual-column problem-solving strategies in selected sample exercises. The CD-ROM contains narrated animations, activities, and MediaPortfolio software. Brown is professor of chemistry emeritus affiliated with the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign. Annotation c.
