This text is full of real-world examples, both in the chapter
narrative and in the problems. Applications range from green
chemistry, industrial processes, health and medical issues,
materials science and more.
Intended for use in beginning chemistry courses
with no chemistry prerequisite, An Introduction
to Chemistry, has been informed by the author’s
experience of teaching introductory chemistry
for over 30 years at Monterey Peninsula College.
Originally developed by a leading textbook
publisher, and subsequently self-published by
the author’s own Chiral Publishing Company,
the textbook has garnered praise and classroom
adoptions nationwide for its accessible
presentation and student-friendly features.
Now, WebAssign brings it to you in a complete
online course for just $40.
This text helps students get organized by providing Sample
Study Sheets for many of the tasks they will be expected to
do on exams. Each study sheet describes how to recognize a
specific kind of task (“Tip‑off”), breaks the task down into
general steps, and is accompanied by at least one example.

Identification of Skills to Review
The learning objectives listed at the end of each chapter list all
the key skills taught within the chapter, thus helping students
to focus on the most critical material. Objective references in
the margins of the chapter denote the paragraphs that pertain
to each objective, so that a student who has trouble with a
particular objective can easily find the relevant text discussion.

each term. We’ve introduced more powerful tools for faculty,
including secure testing and complete assignment customization, and we’ve introduced stronger learning tools for students.
And now, through our partnership with Mark Bishop’s Chiral
Publishing, WebAssign supports both versions of An Introduction
to Chemistry with:
chemPad
With our new chemPad answer palette, students can enter
chemical formulas and equations naturally. With over 150 lines
of intelligent feedback, chemPad is more than an answer-entry
tool, it’s a tool that strengthens problem-solving skills and
reinforces conceptual understanding.
