This student workbook is designed to support Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) with activities that promote a student-focused active classroom. It is an excellent accompaniment to Principles of Chemistry: The Molecular Science or any other general chemistry text.

With principles that are shaping today’s most advanced technologies, from nanomedicine to electronic nanorobots, colloid and interface science has become a truly interdisciplinary field, integrating chemistry, physics, and biology. Colloid and Surface Chemistry: Exploration of the Nano World- Laboratory Guide explains the basic principles of colloid and interface science through experiments that emphasize the fundamentals. It bridges the gap between the underlying theory and practical applications of colloid and surface chemistry. Separated into five chapters, the book begins by addressing research methodology, how to design successful experiments, and ethics in science. It also provides practical information on data collection and analysis, keeping a laboratory notebook, and writing laboratory reports. With each section written by a distinguished researcher, chapter 2 reviews common techniques for the characterization and analysis of colloidal structures, including surface tension measurements, viscosity and rheological measurements, electrokinetic methods, scattering and diffraction techniques, and microscopy. Chapters 3–5 provide 19 experiments, each including the purpose of the experiment, background information, pre-laboratory questions, step-by-step procedures, and post-laboratory questions. Chapter 3 contains experiments about colloids and surfaces, such as sedimentation, exploration of wetting phenomena, foam stability, and preparation of miniemulsions. Chapter 4 covers various techniques for the preparation of nanoparticles, including silver, magnetic, and silica nanoparticles. Chapter 5 demonstrates daily-life applications of colloid science, describing the preparation of food colloids, body wash, and body cream.

Guided Inquiry Activities are available on the Pearson Custom Library. Please visit www.pearsoncustomlibrary.com. Search by discipline "Chemistry" and then by author "Frost". These activities guide students through an exploration of the given information to develop chemical concepts, and then apply the developed concept to further examples.

Chemistry 2e is designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of the two-semester general chemistry course. The textbook provides an important opportunity for students to learn the core concepts of chemistry and understand how those concepts apply to their lives and the world around them. The book also includes a number of innovative features, including interactive exercises and real-world applications, designed to enhance student learning. The second edition has been revised to incorporate clearer, more current, and more dynamic explanations, while maintaining the same organization as the first edition. Substantial improvements have been made in the figures, illustrations, and example exercises that support the text narrative. Changes made in Chemistry 2e are described in the preface to help instructors transition to the second edition.

Guided Inquiry Explorations into Organic and Biochemistry provides students with a solid knowledge base of fundamental concepts within the discipline. The text presents students with small, easy-to-understand segments and activities that encourage them to explore and discover patterns and ideas. Topics covered range from the basics of naming the simplest organic compounds to the application of the principles of organic chemistry to biochemical molecules and processes. Students learn about the reactions of aromatic compounds and alcohols, interactions between amino acids in proteins, the structures of carbohydrates, the nature of nucleic acids, and more. Throughout the text, diagrams, models, chemical reaction equations, and tables enrich the learning experience. In each chapter, a series of critical thinking questions guide students toward important observations and encourage them to work as a group to confirm the answers. Each chapter includes exercises that reinforce, expand upon, and extend the concepts presented. The second edition features an updated interior design and refreshed images to improve the overall reading and learning experience. The book is ideal for foundational courses in organic chemistry and biochemistry.
