Glossary.

• Mark S. Cracolice

  Mark S. Cracolice is a professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Montana, where he teaches freshman-level chemistry courses, as well as graduate-level courses in teaching chemistry, theories of learning, and chemical education research. He directs a research group that seeks answers to questions about how students learn and is involved in conducting professional development workshops for high school, college, and university chemistry instructors.

• Edward I. Peters

  Ed Peters received his B.S. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1943 in Chemical Engineering and his M.S. from Northwestern University in 1947. He had a long and varied career. He worked as an engineer for the United States Navy and was employed as a chemistry teacher for various high schools and colleges in California. He retired in 1987.

• New for this edition, assignments in WebAssign help students understand core concepts and learn from mistakes with answer-specific feedback and flexible support resources.

• New digital workbooks — available in WebAssign — integrate text, interactives and questions, offering a guided reading experience that helps students engage with the text.

• New problems at the end of each section offer students immediate opportunities to practice what they learn.

• Active examples throughout the text guide students through the process of solving chemistry problems with a four-part process: analyze, identify, construct and check.

• How To features throughout the text offer just-in-time math remediation and can be used alongside Math Readiness Bootcamps on WebAssign that provide even more support.

• Learn It Now boxes throughout the text encourage students to learn how to study efficiently, learn key concepts and develop active learning strategies.

• Chapter introductions relate chemistry to real-world scenarios, showing students why the chemistry course matters.

• A flexible organization allows instructors to teach topics in the order that makes sense for their course, including taking an atoms-first approach.
