Intended for use in the two-term, freshman-level General, Organic, and Biochemistry course taken by Allied Health students, the Tenth Edition of this widely adopted text includes improved explanations, updated materials, cutting-edge developments, emerging technologies, and revisions to the popular Chemistry in Action sections. Hein, Pattison, Best, and Arena is a market-proven text that provides the most comprehensive coverage of general, organic, and biochemistry available at this level.
Experienced authors, Hein, Pattison, Best, and Arena, recognize that both science and mathematics can be daunting subjects to students. They skillfully anticipate areas of difficulty and pace the text accordingly. Particular emphasis is placed on the understanding of how chemical principles relate to their lives and future careers. The authors focus on problem solving over rote memorization and provide a variety of exercises to aid in the development of this essential skill.
While the authors have revised and updated sections on inorganic and organic chemistry throughout the text, they particularly focused on incorporating many of the recent developments in biochemistry.
Key Features
- Marginal notations help students understand basic concepts and problem-solving techniques.
- Many worked examples show the "how" of problems and prepare students to solve problems on their own.
- Practice problems provide immediate reinforcement of the skills illustrated in the example problems.
- "Putting It Together" review sections appear after every 3-4 chapters and provide exercises for self-review.
- All chapters contain "Challenge Exercises."
- Interactive LearningWare: a step-by-step problem-solving tutorial with over 40 interactive problems.
New To This Edition
- Previous Chapter 3 content (physical states, classification of matter) has been moved to Chapter 1 to provide stronger emphasis on matter.
- New section added to Chapter 3 to provide a clear framework for problem solving.
- New Problem Solving Strategy boxes to highlight how to think about working chemistry problems.
- New Rules boxes added to emphasize the procedures used in chemistry nomenclature and mathematics.
- Examples have been rewritten using the new overall approach to problem solving and incorporate the use of Problem Solving Strategy boxes.
- Chapters 1-4 restructured for smoother start.
- 15-20% new end-of-chapter problems.
- Updated molecular art and glassware.
- More macro-molecular art, where appropriate.
About the Authors
- Morris Hein is professor emeritus of chemistry at Mt. San Antonio College, where he regularly taught the preparatory chemistry course and organic chemistry. He is the original author of Foundations of College Chemistry and his name has become synonymous with clarity, meticulous accuracy, and a step-by-step approach that students can follow. Over the years, more than three million students have learned chemistry using a text by Morris Hein. In addition to Foundations of College Chemistry, Eleventh Edition, he is co-author of Introduction to General, Organic, and Biochemistry, Seventh Edition, and Introduction to Organic and Biochemistry. He is also co-author of Foundations of Chemistry in the Laboratory, Eleventh Edition, and Introduction to General, Organic and Biochemistry in the Laboratory, Seventh Edition.
- Susan Arena has taught chemistry to students at many levels including middle school, high school, community college and most recently at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. She especially focuses on using active learning techniques to improve the understanding of concepts in chemistry. Susan currently authors chemistry texts and electronic media, and presents workshops for teachers in suing active learning and electronic media to teach chemistry. She collaborated with Morris Hein on the seventh edition of Foundations of College Chemistry and became a co-author on the eight edition. She is also a co-author of Introduction to General, Organic and Biochemistry, Seventh Edition.
