Fundamentals of General, Organic, and Biological Chemistryby McMurry, Ballantine, Hoeger, and Peterson provides the background in chemistry and biochemistry essential for allied health students, while ensuring students in other disciplines gain an appreciation of chemistry's significance in everyday life. Unlike many texts on this subject, it is clear and concise, punctuated with practical and familiar examples from students' personal experiences. An exceptional balance of chemical concepts explains the quantitative aspects of chemistry, and provides deeper insight into theoretical chemical principles. It also sets itself apart by requiring students to master concepts before they can move on to the next chapter. TheSeventh Editionfocuses on making connections between General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry with a number of new and updated features-including all-new Mastering Reactions boxes, new and updated Chemistry in Action boxes (formerly titled Applications), new and revised chapter problems that strengthen the ties between major concepts in each chapter and practical applications, and much more.
