About the Book
In the newly updated 8th Edition, Chemistry: A Guided Inquiry continues to follow the evidence-based principles of inquiry learning, emphasizing the development of underlying chemistry concepts through analysis and interpretation of information. Part I includes activities that address most of the topics typically addressed in a first semester general chemistry course including atomic and molecular structure, states of matter, thermochemistry, and stoichiometry.
