University Chemistry
P. Siska

Award-winning educator Peter Siska brings years of research and teaching experience to University Chemistry , a new, distinctive honors general chemistry textbook that offers a logical framework of core ideas to give students a solid understanding of chemistry. The book is built on the premise that mastery of a few central ideas will enable students to comprehend and appreciate complex chemical processes.Modern topics, such as the spectroscopic applications of quantum chemistry, are woven into the text to ignite students' imaginations and give them an appreciation for the experimental nature of the science. Rigorous in its quantitative coverage, University Chemistry helps students think through chemical problems, integrate ideas, and approach chemistry conceptually as well as mathematically.The book's superior media program draws on the most state-of-the-art animations, simulations, and interactive chemical equations to help students visualize complex chemical processes and master problem-solving techniques.A framework organisation that focuses on fundamental ideas such as the electrical nature of matter and the notion of potential energy to help explain and unify many diverse chemical phenomena. Connections to modern chemistry are woven throughout the text. Coverage of topics such as computers in chemistry, modern materials in chemistry, and enzymatic catalysts expose students to new areas of research. Experimental difficulties and challenges are discussed during the description of fundamental concepts, giving students an appreciation for the experimental nature of chemistry. Spectroscopy is introduced early to illustrate the natural applications of quantum chemistry in modern research. Superior treatment of molecular orbitals includes a separate chapter on the subject and better use of molecular orbitals in the coverage of transition metals (ligand field theory). An unparalleled art program uses molecular modeling software for cutting-edge illustrations that help students visualise chemistry on a molecular level. A superior media package includes state-of-the-art animations, simulations, and Mathematica software that help students visualise complex chemical phenomena and master problem-solving techniques.
