New Two-Chapter Introduction
Chapter 1, Measuring Matter and Energy, now focuses on measuring matter and energy, thus introducing energy early in the course
Chapter 2, Atomic Structure and Nuclear Radiation now covers atomic structure, including a streamlined coverage of nuclear radiation (previously in Chapter 16)[Chapter 1] really does a great job of tying together the science of chemistry with the measurement components
Martin Brock, Eastern Kentucky UniversityI really like the inclusion of nuclear chemistry in Chapter 2. It fits well there and is a critical topic for allied health students.
John Singer, Jackson Community CollegeChapter 4, Chemical Quantities and Chemical Reactions, now introduces the concept of the mole, along with balancing equations, enthalpy, kinetics, and a new section on chemical equilibrium.
