Julia Burdge's Chemistry: Atoms First provides a consistentand logical method for teaching general chemistry. Theatoms first approach starts with the fundamental buildingblock of matter, the atom, and uses it as the stepping-stone tounderstanding more complex chemistry topics. Once masteryof the nature of atoms and electrons is achieved, theformation and properties of compounds are developed. Onlyafter the study of matter and the atom will students havesufficient background to fully engage in topics such asstoichiometry, kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamics.Revisions throughout the text to align the data to the ALEKSdata values strengthen its integration with ALEKS.ALEKS features Personalized Learning, Custom QuestionAuthoring, Video Assignments, Virtual Labs, and more!
