An atoms-first approach that actively engages students in learning chemistry and becoming expert problem solvers

With Chemistry: Structure and Properties, author Nivaldo Tro incorporates his engaging and precise narrative to tell the story of chemistry with an atoms-first approach. This approach emphasizes that matter is particulate -- composed of particles -- and the structure of those particles determines the properties of matter. The relationship of structure affecting properties is the thread that weaves all of chemistry together, and this theme is applied to all aspects of the text, from content and organization to art and pedagogy. The book presents chemistry as a logical, cohesive story from the microscopic to the macroscopic, so students can fully grasp the theories and framework behind the chemical facts.
