What's New
What’s New in This Edition?
Kenneth Goldsby, Florida State University, has joined Raymond Chang as an author on the eleventh edition of Chemistry. Ken’s background in inorganic chemistry has added insight into content and problems, and his extensive work with undergraduate students, both in the classroom and in the laboratory, reinforces Raymond’s long tradition of understanding and respecting the student’s view of the material as well as the instructor’s.New organization with the chapters in the latter part of the text reorganized as follows:
Chapter 17: Entropy, Free Energy, and Equilibrium
Chapter 18: Electrochemistry
Chapter 19: Nuclear Chemistry
Chapter 20: Chemistry in the Atmosphere
Chapter 21: Metallurgy and the Chemistry of Metals
Chapter 22: Nonmetallic Elements and Their Compounds
Chapter 23: Transition Metals Chemistry and Coordination Compounds
Chapter 24: Organic Chemistry
Chapter 25: Synthetic and Natural Organic Polymers Reorganization of these chapters enables those who teach nuclear chemistry to introduce this material right after the coverage of electrochemistry. In addition to recognizing
the growing importance of nuclear medicine and the ongoing debate about the role nuclear power will play in addressing future energy needs, the placement of nuclear chemistry before atmospheric chemistry aids the discussion of radon pollution.
Numerous new end-of-chapter problems have been added to this new edition. A number of these problems test the student’s ability to interpret graphical data and explain
concepts. A new type of problems, called Interpreting, Modeling & Estimating, has been added to this edition. These problems are designed to teach the students to solve
real-world problems, and they require the art of estimation based on appropriate assumptions, finding the necessary information, and formulating a plan for obtaining ballpark
answers in many cases. In Section 1.10, the new problem type is described and a worked example is provided.
New is the creation and versatility of our Connect® Chemistry system. McGraw-Hill has initiated a rigorous process to ensure high-quality electronic homework.
Through careful observation of real students and active instructors we have been able to evolve the online homework tool to an online learning and engagement tool. The goal of Connect is to usher in a new era of meaningful online learning that balances the conceptual and calculated aspect of this most vital discipline.
McGraw-Hill is offering students and instructors an enhanced digital homework experience using Connect Chemistry. Each problem within Connect Chemistry carries the text problem-solving methodology and is tailored with specific hints, as well as answer-specific feedback for common incorrect answers. Each question has been accuracy checked by two or more chemistry professors. Several rounds of editorial and chemical accuracy checking, in addition to numerous instructor and student tests of all problems, ensure the accuracy of all content.
In addition to the specific hints and feedback provided for all questions, many questions allow students a chemical drawing experience that can be assessed directly inside of their homework. Connect Chemistry utilizes CambridgeSoft’s ChemDraw, which is widely considered the “gold standard” of scientific drawing programs and the cornerstone application for scientists who draw and annotate molecules, reactions, and pathways.
This collaboration of Connect and ChemDraw features an easy-to-use, intuitive and comprehensive course management and homework system with professional-grade drawing capabilities.
New Review of Concepts sections have been added to most chapters. This is a quick knowledge test for the student to gauge his or her understanding of the concept just presented. The answers to the Review of Concepts are available in the Student Solutions Manual and on the companion website in Connect.
New Chemistry in Action boxed essays are added to Chapter 7 (Quantum Dots), Chapter 12 (Dialysis), and Chapter 13 (Pharmacokinetics). We have also updated Chemistry in Action boxed essays on White Fat Cells, Brown Fat Cells, and Cure for Obesity in Chapter 6,
Buckyballs and Graphene in Chapter 10, and the Shroud of Turin in Chapter 13.
Many chapters and sections have new and revised content based on the comments from reviewers and users.
Some examples include:
• Chapter 1—new Section 1.10 on Real-World Problem Solving: Information, Assumptions, and
Simplifications including new Example 1.9.
• Chapter 3—revised Section 3.9 Limiting Reagents including new Example 3.16 showing how synthetic chemists often have to adjust excess reagents to compensate for side reactions.
• Chapter 4—new Example 4.4 on writing molecular, ionic, and net ionic equations involving weak diprotic and triprotic acids.
• Chapter 6—new is the change of the symbol E to U for internal energy to be consistent with accepted usage.
• Chapter 7—new Example 7.6 on quantum mechanics.
• Chapter 9—Example 9.11 provides insight into drawing Lewis structures for compounds containing elements in the third period and beyond, and addresses the controversy in drawing these structures.
• Chapter 13—new section on pseudo first-order reactions.
• Chapter 19—expanded and updated coverage of medical application of carbon-14 dating and new content on the island of stability.Problem Solving
The development of problem-solving skills has always been a major objective of this text. The two major categories of learning are shown next. Worked examples follow a proven step-by-step strategy and solution.
• Problem statement is the reporting of the facts needed to solve the problem based on the question posed.
• Strategy is a carefully thought-out plan or method to serve as an important function of learning.
• Solution is the process of solving a problem given in a stepwise manner.
• Check enables the student to compare and verify with the source information to make sure the answer is reasonable.
• Practice Exercise provides the opportunity to solve a similar problem in order to become proficient in this problem type. The Practice Exercises are available in the Connect electronic homework system. The marginal notes list additional similar problems to work in the end-of-chapter problem section. End-of-Chapter Problems are organized in various ways. Each section under a topic heading begins with Review Questions followed by Problems. The Additional Problems section provides more problems not organized by section, followed by the new problem type of
Interpreting, Modeling & Estimating.
Many of the examples and end-of-chapter problems present extra tidbits of knowledge and enable the student to solve a chemical problem that a chemist would solve. The examples and problems show students the real world of chemistry and applications to everyday life situations.VisualizationGraphs and Flow Charts are important in science. In Chemistry, flow charts show the thought process of a concept and graphs present data to comprehend the concept.
A significant number of Problems and Reviews of Concepts, including many new to this edition, include graphical data. Molecular art appears in various formats to serve different needs. Molecular models help to visualize the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a molecule. Electrostatic potential maps illustrate the electron density distribution in molecules. Finally, there is the macroscopic to microscopic art helping students understand processes at the molecular level. Photos are used to help students become familiar with chemicals and understand how chemical reactions appear in reality. Figures of apparatus enable the student to visualize the practical arrangement in a chemistry laboratory.Study Aids
Setting the Stage
Each chapter starts with the Chapter Outline and A Look Ahead. Chapter Outline enables the student to see at a glance the big picture and focus on the main ideas of the chapter. A Look Ahead provides the student with an overview of concepts that will be presented in the chapter.Tools to Use for Studying
Useful aids for studying are plentiful in Chemistry and should be used constantly to reinforce the comprehension of chemical concepts. Marginal Notes are used to provide hints and feedback to enhance the knowledge base for the student. Worked Examples along with the accompanying Practice Exercise are very important tools for learning and mastering chemistry. The problem-solving steps guide the student through the critical thinking necessary for succeeding in chemistry. Using sketches helps the student understand the inner workings of a problem. (See Example 6.1 on page 238.)
A marginal note lists similar problems in the end-of-chapter problems section, enabling the student to apply new skill to other problems of the same type. Answers to the Practice Exercises are listed at the end of the chapter problems. Review of Concepts enables students to evaluate whether they understand the concept presented in the section. Answers to the Review of Concepts can be found in the Student Solution Manual and online in the accompanying Connect Chemistry companion
website. Key Equations are highlighted within the chapter, drawing the student’s eye to material that needs to be understood and retained. The key equations are also presented in the chapter summary materials for easy access in review and study. Summary of Facts & Concepts provides a quick review of concepts presented and discussed in detail within the chapter. Key Words lists of all important terms help the student understand the language of chemistry.
Testing Your KnowledgeReview of Concepts lets students pause and check their understanding of the concept presented and discussed in the section. Answers to the Review of Concepts can be found in the Student Solution Manual and online in the accompanying Connect Chemistry
companion website. End-of-Chapter Problems enable the student to practice critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The problems are broken into various types:
• By chapter section. Review questions test basic conceptual understanding, followed by Problems to test the student’s skill in solving problems for that particular section of the chapter.
• Additional Problems uses knowledge gained from the various sections and/or previous chapters to solve the problem.
• Interpreting, Modeling & Estimating problems teach students the art of formulating models and estimating ballpark answers based on appropriate assumptions.Real-Life Relevance
Interesting examples of how chemistry applies to life are used throughout the text. Analogies are used where appropriate to help foster understanding of abstract chemical concepts. End-of-Chapter Problems pose many relevant questions for the student to solve. Examples include: Why do swimming coaches sometimes place a drop of alcohol in a swimmer’s ear to draw out water? How does one estimate the pressure in a carbonated soft
drink bottle before removing the cap? Chemistry in Action boxes appear in every chapter on a variety of topics, each with its own story of how chemistry can affect a part of life. The student can learn about the science of scuba diving and nuclear medicine, among many other interesting cases. Chemical Mystery poses a mystery case to the student. A series of chemical questions provide clues as to how the mystery could possibly be solved. Chemical Mystery will foster a high level of critical thinking using the basic problem-solving steps built up
throughout the text.Enhanced Support for Faculty and Students
