description: This best-selling text GENERAL CHEMISTRY by Whitten/Davis/Peck/Stanley is best summarized by classic text modern presentation. This simple phrase underlies its strong emphasis is on fundamental skills and concepts. As in previous editions clearly explained problem-solving strategies continue to be the strength of this student-friendly text. This revision builds on the highly praised style and applications to everyday life that have earned this text a reputation as the voice of authority in general chemistry. Whitten always has been viewed as one of the few truly traditional general chemistry texts. Examples of this are that the text covers Thermodynamics normally a topic split into two parts and covered in two different semesters in one chapter and begins the second half of the course. GENERAL CHEMISTRY Seventh Edition also follows a standard narrative-example-problem format has a solid traditional writing style and promotes problem solving. However the authors have added some new elements over the years to reflect changes in chemical education. These include adding in conceptual questions in the problem sets adding features like the Chemistry In Use boxes to show how chemistry is used in daily life and further promoting problem solving by including hints and checks for students.
