Olmsted/Burk is an introductory general chemistry text designed specifically with Canadian professors and students in mind. A reorganized Table of Contents and inclusion of SI units, IUPAC standards, and Canadian content designed to engage and motivate readers distinguish this text from many of the current text offerings. It more accurately reflects the curriculum of most Canadian institutions. Instructors will find the text sufficiently rigorous while it engages and retains student interest through its accessible language and clear problem solving program without an excess of material that makes most text appear daunting and redundant.

The Molecular Science

LISTEN! CAN YOU HEAR THE MUSIC? Did you ever hear the melody of a favorite song coming over the sound system at a local mall? You nay have trouble recognizing the song at first. In the World of ambient sound, the notes are all there, but often there's no music. Reproducing the notes is not the same as making music. The same is true of the art of chemistry. As you take general chemistry, you will be immersed in atoms and molecules - the notes - of chemistry. Understanding the roles of atoms and molecules in every facet of chemistry will reveal to you the richness of the chemical world - its music. The author's goal in this third edition of Chemistry is to present the basic concepts of chemistry in a way that reveals the great chemical symphony that underlies our molecular world. Being able to hear this music will help you succeed in this course. More importantly, it will serve you well in your future career!
