N2  - "The sixth edition of Introduction to Chemistry continues to build on our belief that students learn best when the text and our classroom presentations focus on a conceptual approach to chemistry. Our class meetings are significantly different from traditional lecture presentations in many ways. Beginning with the first week of classes and continuing through the rest of the semester, we follow a sequence of topics that allows us to explain macroscopic phenomena from a molecular perspective. This approach places emphasis on conceptual understanding over algorithmic problem solving. To help students develop conceptual understanding, we use numerous images, animations, video clips, and live demonstrations. An update to the art program for this edition enhances visualization of molecular-level structure and behavior. Roughly a third of each class period is devoted to explaining chemical phenomena from a conceptual perspective. During the remaining time, students work in groups to discuss and answer conceptual and numerical questions." —Preface
