General Organic And Biochemistry Study Guide

"This study guide provides reader-friendly reinforcement of the concepts covered in the textbook. Features include : Chapter outlines ; "Are you able to ...?" ; Worked text problems ; Fill-ins ; Test yourself ; Concept maps. Can also be used for Blei and Odian's Organic and Biochemistry".

Designed for professors who prefer to teach general chemistry topics from one text and organic and biochemistry topics from another, this text offers step-by-step and easy-to-understand coverage of the important functional groups, reactions, and macromolecules that are essential for health science students. A dynamic full color presentation and numerous applications add to the quality of the presentation. Content corresponds to Chapter One and Chapters 21-37 of College Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biochemistry, Fifth Edition by the same authors. Clarity, meticulous accuracy, and a step-by-step approach that students can and do understand have become hallmarks of the Hein authorship. This new text is no exception. Anticipating student problems before they occur, the authors move at a manageable pace, offering carefully worked out examples with alternate methods of solution, practice problems (with answers), review of concepts, review of key terms, and a number of other learning aids to ensure student mastery of important material.

This edition is designed to help undergraduate health-related majors, and students of all other majors, understand key concepts and appreciate the significant connections between chemistry, health, disease, and the treatment of disease.

Expanded from Organic and Biochemistry, this text provides a full introduction to general principles for students with little or no exposure to chemistry. Topics are presented using familiar everyday examples, emphasizing their fundamental importance and personal relevance. A CD-ROM is packaged with each book, and includes animations, simulations, videos, interactive quizzes, exercises to help students prepare for exams, and a customizable calculator and dynamic periodic table to make problem-solving easier. The online companion at www.whfreeman.com/chemistry includes: CD/Web guide, chapter objectives, Q&A, interactive exercises, key terms and review questions.

The Study Guide and Student Solutions Manual tests students on the learning objectives in each chapter and provides answers to all of the even-numbered end-of-chapter exercises. Additional Activities include specific questions for each section as well as a summary activity. Each chapter is rounded out with a Self Test with answers.

Finally readers have a shorter, less intimidating introduction to general, organic and biological chemistry! Not only is Raymond's text concise, it also takes an integrated approach to presenting important topics in a way that makes the material easier to understand. In this approach, similarities can be exploited and concepts reinforced. The result is that readers see the strong connections that exist between these three branches of chemistry.
