Steve and Susan Zumdahl’s texts focus on helping
students build critical thinking skills through the process of becoming
independent problem-solvers. They help students learn to "think like
chemists" so they can apply the problem-solving process to all aspects
of their lives. In this Second Edition of CHEMISTRY: AN ATOMS FIRST
APPROACH, the Zumdahls use a meaningful approach that begins with the
atom and proceeds through the concept of molecules, structure, and
bonding to more complex materials and their properties. Because this
approach differs from what most students have experienced in high school
courses, it encourages them to focus on conceptual learning early in
the course, rather than relying on memorization and a "plug and chug"
method of problem solving that even the best students can fall back on
when confronted with familiar material. The atoms first organization
provides an opportunity for students to use the tools of critical
thinkers: to ask questions, to apply rules and models, and to evaluate
outcomes.
