About this book
Chemistry, 4th Edition is an introductory general chemistry text designed specifically with Canadian professors and students in mind. A reorganized Table of Contents and inclusion of SI units, IUPAC standards, and Canadian content designed to engage and motivate readers and distinguish this text from other offerings. It more accurately reflects the curriculum of most Canadian institutions. Chemistry is sufficiently rigorous while engaging and retaining student interest through its accessible language and clear problem-solving program without an excess of material and redundancy.

Key takeaways
Apply fundamental chemical principles to describe atomic structure, electron configurations, and the various types of chemical bonding that govern molecular shapes and properties.
Analyze the energetics, rates, and equilibrium positions of chemical reactions, including acid-base and redox processes, to predict reaction spontaneity and product formation.
Characterize the structure and reactivity of organic compounds and macromolecules, and evaluate the roles of main group, transition, and nuclear chemistry in diverse chemical systems and environmental contexts.
