Revision Changes
Changes in General, Organic, and Biochemistry for the 4th Edition
Denniston, Topping, and CaretChapter 1: Chemistry: Methods and Measurement
The major change in this chapter was the inclusion of section 1.2 Matter and Properties, which in previous editions was introduced in Ch. 2
Some in-chapter and end-of-chapter problems were moved from Ch. 2, leading to 84 problems emphasizing fact, drill, and application
Chapter 2: The Composition and Structure of the Atom
This chapter is now much more clearly focused on the composition of the atom, the landmark studies that gave us clues to the arrangement of particles in the atom, and the evolution of atomic theory
The chapter is now subdivided into six more manageable sections
End-of –chapter problems have been re-categorized
18 new problems added, compensating for those lost due to changes in Ch. 1
Chapter 3: Elements, Atoms, Ions, and the Periodic Table
Redesigned the periodic table (Figure 3.1) to make it more informative (coding for symbol, atomic number, and atomic mass)
Chapter 4: Structure and Properties of Ionic and Covalent Compounds
Structures of molecules were improved (e.g., see Figures 4.7 and 4.8, and pages 106 and 7)
A few more problems were added as well
Chapter 5: Calculations and the Chemical Equation
Calculations based on the mole were streamlined a bit, resulting in a slightly shorter and more focused chapter
The stoichiometry discussion no longer includes the limiting reactant situation
A number of in-chapter and end-of-chapter problems were restructured (see problems 5.63-5.70)
Chapter 6: States of Matter: Gases, Liquids, and Solids
No substantial changes to this chapter
Chapter 7: Reactions and Solutions
The Clinical Perspective, Oral Rehydration Therapy, was added
Chapter 8: Chemical and Physical Change: Energy, Rate, and Equilibrium
New reasoning problems (8.65-8.70) were added to the end of the chapter
Chapter 9: Charge-Transfer Reactions: Acids and Bases and Oxidation-Reduction
The first two sections of the chapter were reorganized to emphasize pH, the pH scale, and the fact that it serves as a measurement tool to reveal important facts about a solution
Calculator-specific calculations were removed from the chapter as requested by several reviewers
The end-of-chapter problems were reordered and retitled, where necessary, to match changes in the chapter
Fourteen new questions were added
Chapter 10: The Nucleus, Radioactivity, and Nuclear Medicine
Section 10.8 is a blend of sections 8 and 9 in the previous editions
The end-of-chapter problems were reorganized and retitled to more closely follow the organization of the chapter and emphasize important topics
Problems 23, 24, 29, 30, 31, 32, 49, 50, 51, 52, 59, and 60 were added to the end-of chapter problems
Chapter 11: An Introduction to Organic Chemistry: The Saturated Hydrocarbons
Perspectives
An Environmental Perspective Frozen Methane: Treasure or Threat?
An Environmental Perspective The Petroleum Industry and Gasoline Production
A Medical Perspective Chloroform in Your Swimming Pool

Perspectives
An Environmental Perspective Plastic Recycling
An Human Perspective Folklore, Science, and Technology
A Medical Perspective Killer Alkynes in Nature
New Section
Section 12.4 Alkenes in Nature
Art/Figures
