✦ Synopsis

A UNIQUE NEW APPROACH THAT'S LIKE A LIGHTNING BOLT TO THE BRAIN

You know that moment when you feel as though a lightning bolt has hit you because you finally get something? That's how this book will make you react.(We hope!)Each chapter makes sure that what you really need to know is clear right off the bat and sees to it that you build on this knowledge. Where other books ask you to memorize stuff, we're going to show you themust knowideas that will guide you toward success in chemistry. You will start each chapter learning what the must know ideas behind a chemistry subject are, and these concepts will help you solve the chemistry problems that you find in your classwork and on exams.

Dive into this book and find:




250+practice questions that mirror what you will find in your classwork and on exams
A bonus app with flashcards that will reinforce what you've learned
Extensive examples that drive home essential concepts
An easy-access setup that allows you to jump in and out of subjects
Chemistry topics aligned to national and state education standards
Special help for more challenging chemistry subjects, including the mole concept, stoichiometry, and solutions
We're confident that themust knowideas in this book will have you up and solving chemistry problems in no time--or at least in a reasonable amount of time!
