Foundations of College Chemistry, 16e presents chemistry as a modern, vital subject and is designed to make introductory chemistry accessible to all beginning students. It is intended for students who have never taken a chemistry course or those who had a significant interruption in their studies but plan to continue with the general chemistry sequence. The central focus: to make chemistry interesting and understandable and teach students the problem-solving skills they will need. The authors build on the strengths of previous editions, including clear explanations and step-by-step problem solving. The material emphasizes the real world applications of chemistry as the authors develop the principles that form the foundation for the further study of chemistry. Enhanced materials through WileyPLUS with new interactive features and additional case studies in many chapters encourage students to engage with the book in their individual learning styles.
