Chemistry
NEW! Chemistry: The Central Science
12th Edition AP* Edition ©2012
Brown, LeMay, Bursten, Murphy, Woodward
Unrivaled problems, scientific accuracy, and clarity.
The most ambitious revision to date—every word and piece of art has been scrutinized for effectiveness by all five authors. Joined in this edition by new co-author Patrick Woodward, the book's impeccable authorship gains a fresh, new perspective yet maintains its unified, consistent voice.
- Significantly streamlined end-of-chapter questions are based on student-tested data from MasteringChemistry®—only those questions proven to be effective and helpful to students have been retained, and new questions modeling these effective questions have been composed.
- Updated AP*-specific Preface includes correlation of text content to AP* chemistry exam, information from long-time AP* chemistry teacher and reader Ed Waterman on tips for succeeding on the AP* exam, and details on all AP* teacher and student supplements.
- Go Figure questions encourage students to stop and analyze the artwork in the text, for conceptual understanding.
- Voice Balloons help students break down the components of an image, and Over the Shoulder leader lines provide a teacher's perspective.
- Completely revised design and extensively revised line art and photos enhances student usability and reflects how modern students approach chemistry.
