Book excerpt: Guided Inquiry for General Chemistry provides students with an interactive introduction to key concepts in chemistry. This workbook covers all of the topics and ideas presented within a first-year chemistry course for science majors. Short chapters guide students to understanding through simple questions, followed by more advanced practice exercises designed to be completed in a group setting with instructor assistance. Each chapter introduces readers to fundamental chemistry concepts, challenges them to think and reflect on those concepts, and examines essential applications of those concepts. Topics in the book include atomic structure, bonding, Lewis dot structures, nomenclature, chemical reaction types, stoichiometry, states of matter, kinetics, equilibrium, energetics, electrochemistry, and nuclear chemistry. Each chapter features explicitly stated learning outcomes, a list of prerequisite chapters that will assist readers in their understanding of the current chapter, background information with guiding questions, and application questions to facilitate learning and retention. Comprehensive and approachable in nature, Guided Inquiry for General Chemistry is designed for first-year chemistry courses at the university level but is also well suited for introductory and high school chemistry courses.
