The sixth edition of Introductory Chemistry continues in goals we have pursued for the first five editions: to make chemistry interesting, accessible, and understandable to the beginning student. For this edition, we have included additional support for instructors and students to help achieve these goals.

Learning chemistry can be very rewarding. And even the novice, we believe, can relate the macroscopic world of chemistry—the observation of color changes and precipitate formation—to the microscopic world of ions and molecules. To achieve that goal, instructors are making a sincere attempt to provide more interesting and more effective ways to learn chemistry, and we hope that Introductory Chemistry will be perceived as a part of that effort. In this text we have presented concepts in a clear and sensible manner using language and analogies that students can relate to. We have also written the book in a way that supports active learning. In particular, the Active Learning Questions, found at the end of each chapter, provide excellent material for collaborative work by students. In addition, we have connected chemistry to real-life experience at every opportunity, from chapter opening discussions of chemical applications to “Chemistry in Focus” features throughout the book. We are convinced that this approach will foster enthusiasm and real understanding as the student uses this text. Highlights of the Introductory Chemistry program are described below.
