The most comprehensive match to the new 2014 Chemistry syllabus, this completely revised edition gives you unrivalled support for the new concept-based approach, the Nature of science. The only DP Chemistry resource that includes support directly from the IB, focused exam practice, TOK links and real-life applications drive achievement.

For many students the study of chemistry can be a daunting task. The Chemistry Companion and this Chemistry Companion Answers and Solutions Manual provide the ideal introduction for students studying chemistry. Both books are written by an author with over 25 years of teaching university chemistry. The care with which the author .... The Chemistry Companion Answers and Solutions Manual provides the answers for over 1000 end-of-chapter questions from the Chemistry Companion text. This includes answers to the 550 multiple choice questions and 510 short answer questions detailed in the Chemistry Companion. In addition, fully worked solutions for over 100 Practice Problems (listed in the Chemistry Companion text) are also provided which give a clear, concise and easy to read step-by-step guide to solving a wide range of chemistry problems - including both qualitative and quantitative chemistry. The Chemistry Companion Answers and Solutions Manual is the ideal accompanying text for the Chemistry Companion.

Like the author’s other companion books, The Chemistry Companion provides-high quality information in unique one-page-per-topic presentations that do not overburden and distract with excessive details. The book offers concise summaries of general chemistry concepts, easily accessible in a convenient, reader-friendly format. Suitable as an introduction or study guide, this companion presents the minimum of what readers need to know to understand the subject. It emphasizes the physics underlying chemistry. By looking at chemistry processes from a physics point of view, readers can better appreciate what is happening from the chemical perspective that is usually found in traditional chemistry books. The author focuses on the structure of matter, chemical components and bonds, the periodic table, states of matter, thermodynamics, reaction rates, carbon chemistry, biochemistry, and chemical, ionic, and electronic equilibria. Each topic is covered in a single-page outline format with just enough detail to enable a good understanding of the subject.

The Organic Chemists' Companion provides a practical, hands-on resource for students and practitioners of organic synthesis. It presents the fundamentals and guides the reader through the entire process of organic synthesis. It includes basic instructions on everything from on handling reagents, gases, and solvents to conducting and working up/purifying reactions as well as applying analytical techniques to identify the reaction product. Packed with data and practical tips and organized for quick reference Includes guidelines for literature searches to help readers find additional information Features colour photos, drawings, charts, graphs, and tables to complement the information Includes real-life examples showing how to apply the information.

This book illustrates and teaches the finer details of the tactics and strategies employed in the synthesis of organic molecules. As well as providing model answers to the problems, the book discusses, in detail, the reasons why particular strategies are chosen, and why, in given circumstances, alternative methods or routes may or may not be appropriate. As such it could be used as a stand alone volume for the teaching of organic chemistry with a modern and appropriate emphasis on synthesis. Extensive cross referencing to Principles of Organic Synthesis allows the two books to be used as companion volumes.

Uniquely developed with the IB for the latest syllabus.Following the new 2007 syllabus this Course Companion follows an approach that includes the wider aims of the IBO through connections to TOK, international-mindedness and the IB learner profile. It has been written by a Principal Examiner for the IB Diploma Programme Chemistry and has beenextensively reviewed by teachers, consultants and the IBO. With material integrated to include international and historical perspectives, students will be encouraged to think critically and make connections to other subjects and to world issues.
