"Our goal in preparing the eighth edition," the author writes, "has been to make available the examples, problems, and explanations...for success in the study of beginning chemistry." Unit conversions and the factor- label method are treated in detail, and new coverage is presented on Lewis structures, hybridization, and the VSEPR model for predicting molecular geometry. Discussions of thermodynamics, neutralization and titration, and the use of reduction potentials have been enlarged, revised, and updated. The chapters cover problem solving, units of measurement, exponents, atomic weight and the mole, formulas of compounds, gas laws, mole relationships in chemical reactions, quantum theory and atomic structure, thermochemistry and thermodynamics, concentration and properties of solutions, acid-base and solubility equilibria, oxidation and reduction, and kinetics.
