Book Preface

The seventh edition of our textbook continues to emphasize the molecular nature of matter, strong problem solving, and clarity of writing that was the basis of the sixth edition of Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter by Neil D. Jespersen and James E. Brady. The relationship between the molecular level and the observable macroscopic properties of matter is presented in increased detail to reinforce and expand this fundamental concept.

Neil Jespersen continues his role as lead author as this text evolves in the electronic age. Neil is an analytical chemist, respected educator, and award-winning teacher who spearheaded the emphasis on the connection between the microscopic view and the macroscopic properties we experience in everyday life.
Alison Hyslop has more than proven herself as a contributing author on the previous edition, and will continue to contribute to future editions. Alison is an inorganic chemist with extensive experience teaching graduate and undergraduate inorganic chemistry as well as general chemistry. She currently chairs her department and works collaboratively to enhance the chemistry degree programs. James Brady has taken an advisory role in this edition. His vision and guidance formed the philosophy and organization of the book. From completely introducing all topics before they are used to never skipping steps in solving problems, his leadership has made this book accessible for all chemistry students.

Philosophy and Goals
The philosophy of the text is based on our conviction that a general chemistry course serves a variety of goals in the education of a student. First, of course, it must provide a foundation in the basic facts and concepts of chemistry upon which theoretical models can be constructed. The general chemistry course should also give the student an appreciation of the central role that chemistry plays among the sciences, as well as the importance of chemistry in society and day-to-day living. In addition, it should enable the student to develop skills in analytical thinking and problem solving. With these thoughts in mind, our aim in structuring the text was to provide a logical progression of topics arranged to provide the maximum flexibility for the teacher in organizing his or her course. In this text, we were guided by three principal goals. The first was to strengthen the connection between observations on the macroscopic scale and the behavior of atoms, molecules, and ions at the atomic level while introducing all concepts in a logical and understandable manner. The second was to further enhance and streamline our approach to teaching effective problem-solving skills. This includes emphasis on estimation and answer checking. The third goal was to provide a seamless, total solution to the General Chemistry course by fully integrating the textbook content with online assessment, answer-specific responses, and resources delivered within WileyPLUS.

Emphasizing the Molecular View of Nature
The value of the molecular approach in teaching chemistry is well accepted and has always been a cornerstone in the approach taken by Jim Brady and his co-authors in presenting chemistry for many years. From his first text, in which novel three-dimensional computer-drawn representations of molecules and crystal structures were presented and observed using stereoscopic viewers, up through the 6th edition of this text, the atomic/molecular view has dominated the pedagogy.

This new edition builds on that tradition by employing the “molecular basis of chemistry” as a powerful central theme of the text. Through this approach, the student will gain a sound appreciation of the nature of matter and how structure determines properties. Some actions we have taken to accomplish this are as follows:

Chapter Zero: A Very Brief History of Chemistry This new edition of the textbook begins with the formation of atoms from the origin of the universe. By discussing how atoms were initially formed and then moving on to the structure of the atoms through discoveries of the subatomic particles, we lay the groundwork for the atomic and molecular view of matter and outline how these concepts are used throughout the text. We provide a brief introduction to the distribution of elements throughout the earth and introduce students to the way we visualize molecules and chemical reactions.

Macro-to-Micro Illustrations To help students make the connection between the macroscopic world we see and events that take place at the molecular level, we have a substantial number of illustrations that combine both views. A photograph, for example, will show a chemical reaction as well as an artist’s rendition of the chemical interpretation of what is taking place between the atoms, molecules, or ions involved.

The goal is to show how models of nature enable chemists to better understand their observations and to get students to visualize and describe events at the molecular level. Problem Solving and the Connection between Textbook and WileyPLUS When students solve the end of chapter problems in WileyPLUS, the feedback to the answers submitted will guide the students to the correct answer. For the answers that are incorrect, the responses will give an explanation as to why the answer is wrong. In addition, we have included question and answer-specific hints and answerspecific feedback to give the students more assistance in solving problems. Learning Objectives The learning objectives for each chapter have been explicitly stated at the beginning of each chapter. These learning objectives give the students guidance as to what they will learn after they have mastered each section. In addition, all of the end-of-chapter Questions and Problems are organized by the learning objectives and labeled by the section headers.

Developing Problem-solving Skills
We strongly believe that problem solving reinforces the learning of concepts and that assisting students in improving their skills in this area is one of the critical aspects of teaching chemistry. We also believe that it is possible to accommodate students who come into the course with a wide range of problem-solving abilities so that they will finish the course with skill sets that will make them successful in later chemistry courses.

We continue to use a “chemical tools” model and approach to aid in teaching problem analysis. This approach encourages students to think of basic skills, such as converting from grams to moles, as tools that can be combined in various ways to solve more complex problems. Students and instructors have responded positively to this concept in earlier editions and we continue to employ this strategy in problem analysis. Tools are identified by an icon in the margin when they are introduced in a chapter and the tools are summarized at the end of each chapter
