DOWNLOAD EBOOKValence bond (VB) theory, which builds the descriptions of molecules from those of its constituent parts, provided the first successful quantum mechanical treatments of chemical bonding. Its language and concepts permeate much of chemistry, at all levels. Various modern formulations of VB theory represent serious tools for quantum chemical studies of molecular electronic structure and reactivity. In physics, there is much VB-based work (particularly in semi-empirical form) on larger systems. Importance of TopicThe last decade has seen significant advances in methodology and a vast increase in the range of applications, with many new researchers entering the field.Why This TitleValence Bond Theory succeeds in presenting a comprehensive selection of contributions from leading valence bond (VB) theory researchers throughout the world. It focuses on the vast increase in the range of applications of methodology based on VB theory during the last decade and especially emphasizes recent advances.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume offers a critical examination of a variety of conceptual approaches to teaching and learning chemistry in the school classroom. Presenting up-to-date research and theory and featuring contributions by respected academics on several continents, it explores ways of making knowledge meaningful and relevant to students as well as strategies for effectively communicating the core concepts essential for developing a robust understanding of the subject. Structured in three sections, the contents deal first with teaching and learning chemistry, discussing general issues and pedagogical strategies using macro, sub-micro and symbolic representations of chemical concepts. Researchers also describe new and productive teaching strategies. The second section examines specific approaches that foster learning with understanding, focusing on techniques such as cooperative learning, presentations, laboratory activities, multimedia simulations and role-playing in forensic chemistry classes. The final part of the book details learner-centered active chemistry learning methods, active computer-aided learning and trainee chemistry teachers` use of student-centered learning during their pre-service education. Comprehensive and highly relevant, this new publication makes a significant contribution to the continuing task of making chemistry classes engaging and effective.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDesigned to supplement standard organic chemistry textbooks used in two-semester courses, Problems Book for Organic Chemistry is a practical and highly applicable study aid that increases students' problem-solving abilities and effectively prepares them for exams. The book challenges students to participate in a series of timed examinations, replicating the real conditions under which exams are generally given to effectively prepare students to problem-solve under pressure. After completing each exam, students are provided with detailed answers and encouraged to self-grade their work to better understand their individual mastery of the material. The concepts in each exam, as well as their order, mirror the progression of a standard two-semester organic chemistry course. Innovative in approach, Problems Book for Organic Chemistry is an ideal resource for students enrolled in organic chemistry courses.
