Chemical structure and reactivity : an integrated approach (Second edition)

See all formats and editions

Why do certain substances react together in the way that they do?

What determines the shape of molecules? And how can we predict whether a particular reaction will happen at all?Such questions lie at the heart of chemistry - the science of understanding the composition of substances, their reactions, and properties.

While often fragmented into the strands of inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, a full understanding of chemistry can only be gained by seeing the subject as a single, unified whole. Chemical Structure and Reactivity rises to the challenge of depicting the reality of chemistry.

Offering a fresh approach to undergraduate teaching, it depicts the subject as a seamless discipline, showing how organic, inorganic, and physical concepts can be blended together to achieve the common goal of understanding chemical systems. With a lively and engaging writing style augmented throughout by purpose-drawn illustrations, and custom-developed online support, Chemical Structure and Reactivity alone makes taking an integrated approach in the teaching of chemistry a realistic proposition.
