Study Guide for Chemistry: A Molecular Approach Review
Great text and an easy read, but not for advanced chem students. I bought it for a bio-chem class at University of Kentucky, and was super-pleased with my purchase. My only reason for 4-stars is the examples provided for in-text reference will never be used on a chem test, simply because they're too easy. Yes, easy probs should be included in order to build foundational skills, but, this book stops there. The text is great though, and superbly easy to pick up on. Also, like most textbooks, only odd answers to chapter reviews are included in the back of the book. C'mon people,it's frigin ridiculous to attempt to solve problems you have no answer for reference. All textbooks need all answers. And don't give me that bull-crap that you can cheat out of the back. Hardly have I ever received homework assignments from chapter summaries. In my experience, it's lecture, study your book, then take a test. All answers would for surely help in that regard.
Study Guide for Chemistry: A Molecular Approach Overview
For two-semester or three-quarter courses in General Chemistry.
The author’s goal in writing this book is to deliver the depth of coverage faculty want with the accessibility and clarity that students need for success. Nivaldo J. Tro’s Chemistry: A Molecular Approach explains difficult chemical concepts in a concise and clear student-centered manner while also providing faculty with the flexibility to go more deeply into many key, often neglected topics, such as electron diffraction, molecular orbital theory, and free-energy changes under non-standard conditions. Chemistry is presented visually throughmulti-level images (macroscopic, molecular and symbolic representations), which helps students see the connections among the formulas (symbolic), the world around them (macroscopic), and the atoms and molecules that make up the world (molecular). Every aspect of this book focuses students on recognizing that the behavior of matter is based on the behavior of atoms and molecules.

Like it! - Kellie - Wyoming
I received exactly what I ordered. It was in good condition and came in great time! I was very pleased with my purchase.
Great Chemistry Textbook!! - Nancy Bedrosian - Floresville, TX
This textbook is FANTASTIC! My favorite feature in this textbook are the examples. Each example is written step by step with instructions on one side, with the problem worked out next to it. After each example is a practice problem which enables the student to reinforce the new techniques using a similar problem. I had a very enthusiastic professor for Chemistry, who had difficulty communicating the subject as English was not her primary language....this being said, this textbook made it easy for me to get an "A" in the course, and also served as a good foundation for my future Chemistry courses. Honestly, a student could easily learn Chemistry from this textbook with little or no assistance from their instructor!!
Way overpriced! - CocoBeware - USA
Better than most Chemistry books but the price tag is ridiculous. The inforamtion contained in an intro Chemistry book hasn't changed much over the last few decades. So, why is it necessary to put a new edition out every year that is more than the previous? (Besides the money making aspect.) Good book but if you don't need this particular book, just get an older one for ten bucks and eek your way through the semester.
