Book Description

0073221031 978-0073221038 March 10, 2006 9
Designed for the two-semester general chemistry course, Chang’s best-selling textbook continues to take a traditional approach and is often considered a student and teacher favorite. The book features a straightforward, clear writing style and proven problem-solving strategies. It continues the tradition of providing a firm foundation in chemical concepts and principles while presenting a broad range of topics in a clear, concise manner.

The new edition of Chemistry continues to strike a balance between theory and application by incorporating real examples and helping students visualize the three-dimensional atomic and molecular structures that are the basis of chemical activity. An integral part of the text is to develop students' problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

A hallmark of the ninth edition is the integration of many tools designed to inspire both students and instructors. The textbook is a foundation for the unparalleled, effective technology that is integrated throughout. The multimedia package for the new edition stretches students beyond the confines of the traditional textbook.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introductory text, November 4, 2007
This review is from: Chemistry (Hardcover)
Chang's Chemistry, 9th edition, is a well written text that is good for a freshman-level general chemistry sequence. For the most part, the text is easy to understand and does not require re-reading. Sections on thermodynamics and molecular orbital theory, however, were confusing. I would not recommend the accompanying solutions manual; it is overpriced considering it only provides answers to odd-numbered problems, which are already in the back of the text. Overall a good book, which I would recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clearly written College Text, May 23, 2008
By 
This review is from: Chemistry (Hardcover)
Chang's 9th edition has been reviewed by the College Board as one of the approved AP Chemistry texts. The text incorporates the complete AP Chemistry curriculum

"Following the tradition of the previous eight editions, the newest Raymond Chang Chemistry is still readable and logically organized; thus it is very appropriate for AP Chemistry." -College Board Review

The newest edition has improved readability and has provided extra help in problem solving. Key equations, answers, and sample problems are shaded and set apart for easy review.

The example problems now include well-integrated strategies that clarify the calculations so that students can understand the worked out solutions. The carefully crafted strategies distill the chapter ideas into concise sentences that focus the reasoning involved in solving the example problems.

You could get a complete chemistry course by reading going over the example problem strategies and solutions.

The text has a clean flow of ideas without distracting clutter. Each new edition has honed this textbook for precision in learning. Every paragraph's meaning is clear, and each sentence is there for a reason.

Too many textbooks have become bloated with excess padding in each new edition. Chang's text kept its ranking as one of the top college textbooks by keeping current, providing excellent explanations, and staying lean through careful editing.
