內容 ●The text's step-by-step approach to problem-solving emphasizes using thoughtful, logical strategies rather than simply memorizing procedures, helping students learn how to break down and solve chemical problems effectively. ●The Eleventh Edition maintains the text's trusted conceptual understanding framework, with a proven focus on equipping students to become effective critical thinkers: to ask questions, to apply rules and models and to evaluate the outcome. ●The dynamic art program has been updated for currency and inclusivity, helping bring the material to life for today's visual learners. ●The authors have updated the text to make chemistry concepts more accessible for today's students, incorporating current technology, examples and methods likely to resonate with modern readers. ●OWLv2 assignments have been updated to include new end-of-chapter content, and targeted feedback has been added to many questions, giving students a helpful layer of additional explanation when they submit an incorrect answer. ●Chemistry in Your Career features introduce a diverse group of people who are using their backgrounds in chemistry in a variety of professions, helping students envision a potential future in chemistry. ●New and revised end-of-chapter questions and problems, found in both the text and OWLv2, ensure that instruments and applications are current; cultural references are relevant; and there is a good balance of easy, medium and more difficult questions to help students progress in their learning. ●Real-World Application features throughout the text showcase interesting modern applications of chemistry to help students appreciate the relevance of course material and key chemistry concepts to their lives and world. ●New Think-Pair-Share questions encourage student to first attempt to answer the question individually, then discuss their answer with other students, and finally present their solution to the class. These questions often require students to develop a more conceptual understanding of the material or consider problem-solving methods relevant to chapter content. 商品描述(中文翻譯) 本書序言 - 本書以逐步解決問題的方法為重點，強調使用深思熟慮、邏輯性的策略，而不僅僅是記憶程序，幫助學生有效地分解和解決化學問題。 - 第十一版保持了本書信任的概念理解框架，並著重培養學生成為有效的批判性思考者：提問、應用規則和模型以及評估結果。 - 更新了動態藝術課程，以使材料更貼近當今的視覺學習者。 - 作者更新了文本，使化學概念對當今的學生更易理解，並融入了當代讀者可能共鳴的當前技術、例子和方法。 - 更新了OWLv2作業，包括新的章節結尾內容，並在許多問題中添加了有針對性的反饋，當學生提交錯誤答案時，提供了一層有用的額外解釋。 - 本書中的「化學與職業」特色介紹了一群在各種職業中運用化學背景的多樣化人群，幫助學生想像化學在未來的潛在應用。 - 新的和修訂的章節結尾問題和問題，無論是在文本還是OWLv2中，確保儀器和應用是最新的；文化參考是相關的；並且有易、中、難的問題平衡，以幫助學生在學習中進步。 - 整本書中的「現實世界應用」特色展示了化學的有趣現代應用，幫助學生理解課程材料和關鍵化學概念對他們的生活和世界的相關性。 - 新的「思考-配對-分享」問題鼓勵學生首先個人嘗試回答問題，然後與其他學生討論他們的答案，最後向班上呈現他們的解決方案。這些問題通常要求學生對材料進行更概念性的理解，或考慮與章節內容相關的解決問題的方法。 作者簡介 Steve Zumdahl is the author of market-leading textbooks in introductory chemistry, general chemistry, honors-level chemistry, and high school chemistry. Recently retired from his long-time position as Director of Undergraduate Programs at the University of Illinois, he has received numerous awards for his contributions to chemical education. These include the National Catalyst Award in recognition of his contribution to chemical education, the University of Illinois Teaching Award, the UIUC Liberal Arts and Sciences Advising Award, and the School of Chemical Sciences Teaching Award (five times). He earned his B.S. in Chemistry from Wheaton College (IL), and his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois. Susan A. Zumdahl earned a B.S. and M.A. in Chemistry at California State University--Fullerton. She has taught science and mathematics at all levels, including middle school, high school, community college, and university. She is past director of the Merit Program for Emerging Scholars in Chemistry at the University of Illinois. In addition, she spearheaded the development of a sophisticated web-based electronic homework system for chemistry and is co-author on several chemistry textbooks. Donald J. DeCoste is Associate Director of General Chemistry at the University of Illinois, Urbana–Champaign and has been teaching chemistry at the high school and college levels for 26 years. He earned his BS in Chemistry and PhD from the University of Illinois, Urbana–Champaign. At UIUC he has developed chemistry courses for nonscience majors, preservice secondary teachers, and preservice elementary teachers. He teaches courses in introductory chemistry and the teaching of chemistry and has received the School of Chemical Sciences Teaching Award four times. Don has led workshops for secondary teachers and graduate student teaching assistants, discussing the methods and benefits of getting students more actively involved in class. When not involved in teaching and advising, Don enjoys spending time with his wife and three children. 作者簡介(中文翻譯) Steve Zumdahl是市場領先的入門化學、一般化學、榮譽化學和高中化學教科書的作者。他最近從伊利諾伊大學的本科項目主任職位退休，並因其對化學教育的貢獻而獲得了眾多獎項。這些獎項包括國家催化劑獎，以表彰他對化學教育的貢獻，伊利諾伊大學教學獎，UIUC文理學院指導獎，以及化學科學學院教學獎（五次）。他在Wheaton College（伊利諾伊州）獲得了化學學士學位，並在伊利諾伊大學獲得了博士學位。 Susan A.
