An established bestseller, Chemical Principles develops students' chemical insight by showing the connections between fundamental chemical ideas and their applications. Unlike most other texts, it begins with a detailed picture of the atom, giving students a strong grounding in the subject. From this foundation, it builds toward chemistry's frontier, continually demonstrating how to solve problems, think about nature and matter, and visualize chemical concepts as working chemists do. The fifth edition has been fully updated to stay at the cutting edge of the subject. A new chapter on inorganic materials has been added, the coverage of descriptive chemistry has been improved, and new green chemistry coverage has been added to engage students with this increasingly important element of the subject. The pedagogy has also been improved, of particular note is the new 'Anticipate/Plan/Solve/Evaluate' problem-solving strategy that encourages a scientific style of thinking. The book is supported by a companion website (www.whfreeman.com/chemicalprinciples5e). This aids understanding and learning through a wide variety of study tools including quizzes, interactive graphs, animations and videos.

Most people remember chemistry from their schooldays as a subject that was largely incomprehensible, fact-rich but understanding-poor, smelly, and so far removed from the real world of events and pleasures that there seemed little point, except for the most introverted, in coming to terms with its grubby concepts, spells, recipes, and rules. Peter Atkins wants to change all that. In What is Chemistry? he encourages us to look at chemistry anew, through a chemist's eyes, to understand its central concepts and to see how it contributes not only towards our material comfort, but also to human culture. Atkins shows how chemistry provides the infrastructure of our world, through the chemical industry, the fuels of heating, power generation, and transport, as well as the fabrics of our clothing and furnishings. By considering the remarkable achievements that chemistry has made, and examining its place between both physics and biology, Atkins presents a fascinating, clear, and rigorous exploration of the world of chemistry - its structure, core concepts, and exciting contributions to new cutting-edge technologies.

This third edition has resulted from a major review of the content of most of the tables, the introduction of a few new tables that were suggested by users, and a decision to introduce hazard codes for inorganic and organic compounds. The text emphasizes the relationship between the structure and chemical properties, and the physical properties of the compound they make up. It includes risk and safety codes which provide details of associated hazards. The integration of data and risk and safety codes offers a personal reference source for material which is otherwise not readily available to students. The recommended methods of handling hazardous chemicals are clearly defined, making the book ideal as a laboratory manual.

Many people are convinced that, among other courses taught in schools, chemistry is a difficult and complex subject. This book sets out to introduce chemistry concepts and demystify chemistry showing how it is a major part of our everyday lives. It introduces the readers into the wonderful world of atoms and molecules and chemical reactions whilst showing that chemistry is centrally important but also an emerging science and defines what the practising chemist does. The book also examines curiosity, creativity, fascination, poetry, beauty, and ethics in science. The concepts of chemistry are to be understood first and then learned. Accordingly, the book presents arguments and suggestions to be considered when teaching chemistry in secondary schools, together with a simple teaching approach so that students can understand and come to appreciate the language of chemistry and its experimental practices. Originally published in Italian, 'Chimica - leggere e scrivere il libro della Natura' was among the finalists of the 2013 Italian Award for popularization of science. The English translation has been sensitively achieved to enable the book to reach young students and teachers of chemistry in a positive way.
