Students and professors can use this site as an aid to your chemistry course. Pick a chapter above and click Begin. Key Features Practice Quizzes: Here you will find multiple choice questions to provide some drill practice on the material. Practice Quizzes provide hints to help you get started on questions, and when you submit them for grading, you get instant feedback on your answers. Web Destinations: We've compiled a list of especially helpful web links appropriate to the course as a whole, and to each chapter specifically. 3D Molecules: Using the Chime™ plug-in, you can "handle" 3-dimensional models of molecules that are associated with specific topics in that chapter. Tools: Here is a compendium of useful tables and data for answering questions. e-Media Activities: The dynamic, interactive elements referred to by margin icons and in e-Media Problems in your book are listed here by chapter section. How Students Can Use This Website The practice quizzes here provide instant feedback for your answers, helping you to understand quickly the right way to think about the problems. Use them as preparation for your homework assignments and exams. (Your professor might even assign these quizzes as your homework!) Use the 3D Molecule center and the e-Media Activities module as a visual reinforcement for some of the geometric concepts explained in the book. Use the Web Destinations module to do web-based research or homework for the topics in each chapter. How Instructors Can Use This Website Use the Syllabus Manager to distribute online and offline assignments. You can use the practice exercises and quizzes here as homework sets that will be automatically graded for you, and the results sent to you by email. For example, assign a practice quiz set before starting a chapter in lecture to encourage students to do preparatory reading; the results of the automatic grading will also show you which topics students found difficult and need special emphasis in class. Use the Web Destinations area to assign special web-based research questions. Use the 3D Molecule center and the e-Media Activities projected in lecture to illustrate difficult or highly visual concepts.
