PRINCIPLES OF MODERN CHEMISTRY has long been considered the standard for honors and high-level mainstream general chemistry courses. This authoritative, modern text has been significantly revised at the sentence level to make it morestudent-centered without compromising its rigor. Authors David W. Oxtoby and H. P. Gillis are now joined by respected researcher and professor, Alan Campion of the University of Texas-Austin, who brings his expertise on surface physics and chemistry and condensed matter spectroscopy to the sixth edition. PRINCIPLES OF MODERN CHEMISTRY has the well-earned reputation of being the most chemically and mathematically accurate and rigorous book on the market, and this edition is no exception. The new edition includes new mathematically accurate artistic representations of atomic and molecular orbitals, generated at the Texas Advanced Computing Center at UT-Austin, and a new "atoms first" approach with an early introduction of structure and bonding in Chapters 4-6.
