{"product_id":"9780199604135","title":"Chemical Structure and Reactivity: An Integrated Approach","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhy do certain substances react together in the way that they do? What determines the shape of molecules? And how can we predict whether a particular reaction will happen at all?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuch questions lie at the heart of chemistry - the science of understanding the composition of substances, their reactions, and properties. Though introductory chemistry is often broken into three sections-inorganic, organic, and physical-the only way for students to fully understand the subject is to see it as a single, unified whole. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChemical Structure and Reactivity\u003c\/i\u003e rises to the challenge of depicting the reality of chemistry. Offering a fresh approach to the subject by depicting it as a seamless discipline, the text shows how organic, inorganic, and physical concepts can be blended together in order to achieve the common goal of understanding chemical systems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a lively and engaging writing style enhanced by vivid illustrations, only \u003ci\u003eChemical Structure and Reactivity\u003c\/i\u003e makes teaching chemistry with an integrated approach possible. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—The only introductory text to take a truly integrated approach in explaining the fundamentals of chemistry.\u003cbr\u003e—Fosters an orbital-based understanding of reactions, with clear curly-arrow mechanistic detail throughout.\u003cbr\u003e—A two-part structure allows flexibility of use: Part I lays down the core of the subject, while Part II describes a series of relatively standalone topics, which can be selected to fit a particular course.\u003cbr\u003e—Numerous concepts are illustrated with fully cross-referenced custom-developed online modules, enabling students to develop an understanding through active learning.\u003cbr\u003e—Self-test exercises embedded in the text (with solutions at the end of each chapter) and extensive question sets encourage hands-on learning, to help students master the subject and gain confidence.\u003cbr\u003e—The Online Resource Centre features a range of additional resources for both students and registered adopters of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew to this Edition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—A new chapter on symmetry has been added to Part I.\u003cbr\u003e—Discussions of organometallic chemistry, spectroscopy, and molecular geometry have been expanded.\u003cbr\u003e—Cross references from Part I to Part II have been increased to make the links between core concepts and more advanced topics clearer.\u003cbr\u003e—More self-test questions and exercises have been provided.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022780743920,"sku":"9780199604135","price":119.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780199604135_p0.jpg?v=1763671343","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780199604135","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
