Overview

Zumdahl/Zumdahl/DeCoste's CHEMISTRY AP® EDITION, 11th STUDENT EDITION, continues its highly regarded tradition of emphasizing conceptual learning, critical-thinking and creative problem-solving techniques. An emphasis on modeling and interactive examples helps students learn to approach and solve chemical problems effectively -- to think like chemists -- so they can apply step-by-step problem-solving strategies not only to the text's diverse problems and exercises, but also to other aspects of their lives. The authors' reader-friendly writing style makes even difficult material more engaging. A proven learning approach helps students gain the knowledge and skills they need to become critical thinkers, asking questions, applying rules and models and evaluating the outcomes.
