Chemical Structure and Reactivity: An Integrated Approach
R1,154.95 (incl. VAT)
Why do certain substances react together in the way that they do? What determines the shape of molecules? And how can we predict whether a particular reaction will happen at all?
Such questions lie at the heart of chemistry – the science of understanding the composition of substances, their reactions, and properties. While often fragmented into the strands of inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, a full understanding of chemistry can only be gained by seeing the subject as a single, unified whole.
Chemical Structure and Reactivity rises to the challenge of depicting the reality of chemistry. Offering a fresh approach to undergraduate teaching, it depicts the subject as a seamless discipline, showing how organic, inorganic, and physical concepts can be blended together to achieve the common goal of understanding chemical systems.
With a lively and engaging writing style augmented throughout by purpose-drawn illustrations, and custom-developed online support, Chemical Structure and Reactivity alone makes taking an integrated approach in the teaching of chemistry a realistic proposition.

Features
- The only introductory text to take a truly integrated approach in explaining the fundamentals of chemistry
- Fosters an orbital-based understanding of reactions, with clear curly-arrow mechanistic detail throughout
- A two-part structure allows flexibility of use; Part I lays down the core of the subject, while Part II describes a series of relatively standalone topics, which can be selected to fit a particular course
- Numerous concepts are illustrated with fully cross-referenced custom-developed online modules, enabling students to develop an understanding through active learning
- Self-test exercises embedded in the text (with solutions at the end of each chapter) and extensive question sets encourage hands-on learning, to help students master the subject and gain confidence
- The Online Resource Centre features a range of additional resources for both students and registered adopters of the book
