Product Description
Chemistry: The Central Science, 14th Edition is the Pearson hardcover general chemistry textbook by Brown, LeMay, Bursten, Murphy, Woodward and Stoltzfus, used for the two-semester introductory chemistry sequence at colleges across the United States.
This is the general chemistry book most science majors meet first. It covers atomic structure, stoichiometry, bonding, gases, thermochemistry, kinetics, equilibrium, acids and bases, electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry and an introduction to organic and biochemistry, with the problem sets the series is known for. The 14th edition was revised using student performance data from Mastering Chemistry to sharpen the explanations and figures where students most often go wrong.

Who it's for

Why this edition
The 14th edition keeps the chapter order that most course syllabi still follow, so homework references line up. Its explanations are more careful than shorter texts, and the sample-exercise format (problem, solution, practice exercise) is why students who struggle in lecture often do well from this book alone. It is a hardcover built to last through two semesters and a sale afterward.
