Description

Features

Experienced author presents difficult concepts with exceptional clarity that demonstrates the relevance of chemistry to student's everyday life.

• Begins with an extensive two chapter review of general chemistry, giving students a chance to revisit basic topics and ensuring that they are up to speed before moving on.

• Thought-provoking essays on relevant bioorganic topics in each chapter illustrate the practical applications of chemistry and apply what students are learning to real-life examples in their area of interest. Many of the essays incorporate material from several chapters to demonstrate the interrelationship of the chemical concepts students are studying.

• Biologically relevant chapters are found earlier in the text. Carbohydrates are discussed immediately after Aldehydes and Ketones, and so on.

Text greatly facilitates learning with highly effective and carefully integrated pedagogical aids and visual activities, including a new world wide web site for the course.

• NEW - Appropriate chapters now include a Summary of Reactions, with reference to section numbers and an additional example of each reaction discussed.

• NEW - Chapter-ending Explorations with Molecular Models motivate students to build models with their own kits and then examine important visual features such as shape, the equivalence of certain atoms, conformations, chirality, requirements to form rings, steric effects, effects on physical properties, and sites of chemical reactivity.

• NEW - Relevant spectroscopy exercises are cross-referenced at the end of all appropriate chapters.

• NEW - Illustration program uses 3-D rendered models within chapters to illustrate shape and provide students contrast to two-dimensional representations.

• NEW - Extensive color-coded reactions help students visually follow changes that occur during reactions.

• End of chapter exercises, arranged by category, allow for greater flexibility when assigning problems.

• NEW - All odd numbered exercises are now answered in an appendix.

• NEW - CHEMcentral (http://www.prenhall.com/~chem) This innovative site allows students to take quizzes on-line and receive hints and feedback on their performance. The site also connects them to a vast array of other chemical websites and offers tutorials.

Two new chapters and additional coverage throughout demonstrate the text's strong focus on modern and applied organic chemistry.

• NEW - Chapter on nucleophilic substitution and elimination clearly discusses, contrasts, and summarizes the important aspects of these key reactions.

• NEW - Chapter on Synthetic Polymers with detailed studies on the effects of chain length, stereochemistry, chain branching, and cross-linking to the properties of polymers.

• NEW - Coverage of ¹³C - NMR spectroscopy.
