Zumdahl S.S., DeCoste D.J. Introductory Chemistry: A Foundation

9th Edition. — Cengage Learning, 2019. — 790 p. — ISBN 978-1-337-39942-5.Zumdahl and DeCoste’s best-selling Introductory Chemistry: A Foundation, Ninth Edition, combines enhanced problem-solving structure with substantial pedagogy to enable students to become successful problem solvers in the introductory course and beyond. Capturing student interest through early coverage of chemical reactions, accessible explanations and visualizations, and an emphasis on everyday applications, the authors explain chemical concepts starting with the basics and conclude by encouraging students to test their own understanding of the solution. This step-by-step approach has already helped hundreds of thousands of student's master chemical concepts and develop strong problem-solving skills. Focusing on conceptual learning, the book motivates students by connecting chemical principles to real-life experiences.Chemistry: An Introduction
