  4. Descriptive Chemistry
    1. The authors state that they have always attempted to introduce students to descriptive chemistry by integrating examples throughout the text. Pertinent and relevant examples of "real" chemistry are woven into all of the chapters as a means to illustrate principles and applications. Chapters which more directly address the properties of elements and their compounds include Chapters 4 (Aqueous Reactions and Solution Stoichiometry), 7 (Periodic Properties of the Elements), 12 (Modern Materials), 18 (Chemistry of the Environnment), and 22–25 (Chemistry of the Nonmetals; Metals and Metallurgy; Chemistry of Coordination Compounds; the Chemistry of Life; Organic and Biological Chemistry). Descriptive chemistry is also incorporated in the end-of-chapter exercises. (Preface, p. xx) The Chemistry at Work and Chemistry and Life series of essays, through an emphasis on current world events, scientific discoveries, and medical breakthroughs, are intended to help students appreciate the real-world perspective of chemistry and the ways in which chemistry affects their lives. (Preface, p.xxi) See page xviii for a list of these essays.

  5. Laboratory
    The first five chapters of the text introduce basic conjcepts, such as nomenclature. Stoichiometry, and thermochemistry that provide the necessary background for many of the laboratory experiments usually performed in general chemistry. (Preface, p.xix) The list of supplements to the text for the instructor (pp. xxii–xxiii) includes the following relevant to laboratory work:
    • Laboratory Experiments (Nelson/Kemp) (0-13-084101-3)
      This manual includes 41 finely tuned experiments chosen to introduce students to basic lab techniques and to illustrate core chemical principles. It contains pre-lab questions and detachable report sheets. This new edition has been revised to correlate more tightly with the text. Safety and disposal information has also been updated.
    • Annotated Instructor's Edition to Laboratory Experiments (0-13-084516-7)
      This AIE combines the full student lab manual with front and back appendices covering the proper disposal of chemical waste, safety instructions for the lab, descriptions of standard lab equipment and materials, answers to questions, and more.

    Chemical Calculations
    The following list summarizes types of problems either explicitly or implicitly included in the preceding material. Attention should be given to significant figures, precision of measured values, and the use of logarithmic and exponential relationships. Critical analysis of the reasonableness of results is to be encouraged.

    A series of essays in the text entitled Strategies in Chemistry provides advice to students on problem solving and "thinking like a chemist." (p.xix) See, for example, p. 79. See also the following pertaining to the problem-solving skills listed above:
