Book Details
The atoms-focused approach helps students better understand how the properties of substances are directly linked to their atomic and molecular structures. The authors start with the smallest particles of matter and assemble them into more elaborate structures: from subatomic particles to single atoms, all the way to truly gigantic polymers. By constructing this layered particulate view of matter, students will visualize the underlying chemistry of a wide range of substances and the changes they undergo. They will also understand why elements combine to form compounds with particular formulas and why substances react with each other the way they do.
