Chemistry A Molecular Approach 5th Edition

Chemistry A Molecular Approach 5th Edition – ISBN-13 9780134874371

For courses in chemistry.

Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, 5th Edition by Nivaldo Tro is designed to actively engage students in becoming expert problem solvers and critical thinkers. This textbook presents chemistry visually through multi-level images—macroscopic, molecular, and symbolic representations—that help students connect the observable world with the atoms and molecules that compose it and the formulas they write on paper.

In this edition, Dr. Tro introduces a unique “Sort, Strategize, Solve, and Check” technique that guides students step-by-step through problem-solving processes. The textbook also incorporates an active learning approach, utilizing interactive media that requires students to pause and reflect on their understanding during instructional videos.

The 5th Edition combines digital and pedagogical innovations with insights from educational research to create an integrated, user-friendly framework. This new edition includes a fully integrated book and media package designed to streamline course setup, actively engage students, and make teaching general chemistry more efficient for instructors.

Mastering Chemistry, a companion digital tool, personalizes the learning experience by combining trusted content with digital resources, improving outcomes for each student. However, Mastering Chemistry is not included with this standalone product and must be purchased separately.
