Chemistry is widely considered to be the central science: it encompasses concepts on which all
other branches of science are developed. Yet for many students entering university gaining a
firm grounding in chemistry is a real challenge. Chemistry³ responds to this challenge
providing students with a full understanding of the fundamental principles of chemistry on
which to build later studies. Uniquely amongst the introductory chemistry texts currently
available Chemistry³'s author team brings together experts in each of organic inorganic and
physical chemistry with specialists in chemistry education to provide balanced coverage of the
fundamentals of chemistry in a way that students both enjoy and understand. The result is a
text that builds on what students know already from school and tackles their misunderstandings
and misconceptions thereby providing a seamless transition from school to undergraduate study.
Written with unrivalled clarity students are encouraged to engage with the text and appreciate
the central role that chemistry plays in our lives through the unique use of real-world context
and photographs. Chemistry³ tackles head-on two issues pervading chemistry education:
students' mathematical skills and their ability to see the subject as a single unified
discipline. Instead of avoiding the maths Chemistry³ provides structured support in the form
of careful explanations reminders of key mathematical concepts step-by-step calculations in
worked examples and a Maths Toolkit to help students get to grips with the essential
mathematical element of chemistry. Frequent cross-references highlight the connections between
each strand of chemistry and explain the relationship between the topics so students can
develop an understanding of the subject as a whole. Digital formats and resources
Chemistry³ is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats and
is supported by online resources. The e-book offers a mobile experience and convenient access
along with functionality tools navigation features and links that offer extra learning
support: www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk ebooks The e-book also features interactive animations of
molecular structures screencasts in which authors talk step-by-step through selected examples
and key reaction mechanisms and self-assessment activities for each chapter. The accompanying
online resources will also include for students: · Chapter 1 as an open-access PDF ·
Chapter summaries and key equations to download to support revision · Worked solutions to
the questions in the book. The following online resources are also provided for lecturers: ·
Test bank of ready-made assessments for each chapter with which to test your students ·
Problem-solving workshop activities for each chapter for you to use in class · Case-studies
showing how instructors are successfully using Chemistry3 in digital learning environments and
to support innovative teaching practices · Figures and tables from the book
