Overview
The Eleventh Edition of Zumdahl/Zumdahl/DeCoste's CHEMISTRY 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' engaging writing style makes even difficult material more engaging, and a proven learning approach helps students gain the knowledge and skills they need to become critical thinkers: to ask questions, to apply rules and models and to evaluate the outcome.
- The authors have updated the text to make chemistry concepts more accessible for today's students, incorporating current technology, examples and methods likely to resonate with modern readers.
- New Think-Pair-Share questions encourage student to first attempt to answer the question individually, then discuss their answer with other students, and finally present their solution to the class. These questions often require students to develop a more conceptual understanding of the material or consider problem-solving methods relevant to chapter content.
- Chemistry in Your Career features introduce a diverse group of people who are using their backgrounds in chemistry in a variety of professions, helping students envision a potential future in chemistry.
- New and revised end-of-chapter questions and problems, found in both the text and OWLv2, ensure that instruments and applications are current; cultural references are relevant; and there is a good balance of easy, medium and more difficult questions to help students progress in their learning.
- The dynamic art program has been updated for currency and inclusivity, helping bring the material to life for today's visual learners.
- OWLv2 assignments have been updated to include new end-of-chapter content, and targeted feedback has been added to many questions, giving students a helpful layer of additional explanation when they submit an incorrect answer.
- The Eleventh Edition maintains the text's trusted conceptual understanding framework, with a proven focus on equipping students to become effective critical thinkers: to ask questions, to apply rules and models and to evaluate the outcome.
- The text's step-by-step approach to problem-solving emphasizes using thoughtful, logical strategies rather than simply memorizing procedures, helping students learn how to break down and solve chemical problems effectively.
- Real-World Application features throughout the text showcase interesting modern applications of chemistry to help students appreciate the relevance of course material and key chemistry concepts to their lives and world.
