ALEKS Technology. McGraw Hill's award-winning ALEKS personalized and adaptive learning platform provides students with the equitable support they need to succeed in the General Chemistry course. By creating a unique learning path for each student, ALEKS ensures students are ready for each topic presented, are retaining the information being taught, and are set up for success in the course. It also allows instructors to spend less time on review and more time helping underprepared students catch up and keep pace with course instruction. Instructors also have the option to build in non-adaptive assignments for complete control of the learning experience to support test preparation, pre- or post-lecture assignments, and exposure to concepts not requiring mastery. Additionally, ALEKS includes access to Silberberg, 3ce eBook and remote proctoring and browser-locking capabilities.
Virtual Labs. Virtual Labs for Chemistry is a fully online lab solution that can be used to replace, prepare, supplement, or make-up labs to bridge the gap between lab and lecture. These lab simulations help students learn the practical and conceptual skills needed to succeed in lab environments, while checking their comprehension and providing instant feedback.
Enhanced Canadian Content. Additional Canadian research and researchers are highlighted in the Third Canadian Edition chapter vignettes, including Canadians who have contributed significantly to chemical history. There are numerous references to Canadian geographical, environmental, and health issues. In a few cases, the authors have directly contacted Canadian researchers and asked them to provide first-hand information regarding their own work (the work has then been directly included in the text).
Updated Chemistry. In 2019, IUPAC updated the definitions of four of the base units that have been in place since the inception of the SI system. The Third Canadian Edition details how these newly defined units impact the measurements made in this resource and in chemistry labs around the world. The most recent periodic table has been included, with the recent IUPAC approved names for elements 114 to 118. Chapter 25 on materials chemistry includes references to new and innovative materials, and Chapter 19 on electrochemistry, shows new information on batteries.
Referencing. As students are expected to reference cited work, Silberberg teaches by example by including references where applicable to new material.
End-of-Chapter Problems. Additional end-of-chapter problems of the integrated and comprehensive type have been added to help students see connections between material that is connected but placed in different chapters.
Updated and Action-Oriented Learning Objectives.The learning objectives provided at the end of each chapter use action-oriented verbs to allow students to understand the learning objective and to assist instructors in clearly identifying the learning objectives and skills required in each chapter. Rather than only a summary of the key points of each chapter at the beginning, students are given a list of goals they should be able to achieve by the end of the chapter.
Canadian Perspective. Silberberg integrates examples, familiar applications of chemistry in daily life, and chapter openers featuring Canadians who have contributed significantly to chemical history.
Modern and Realistic Art Program. Silberberg sets the standard in helping students visualize chemical events on the molecular scale with its innovative three-level illustrations art program. Concepts are explained first at the macroscopic level and then from a molecular level, and symbolic point of view, with the most accurate and groundbreaking illustrations placed next to the discussion.
Problem Solving Approach. Silberberg encourages students to think through chemistry problems logically and systematically. The four-step approach to problem solving (Plan, Solution, Check, Practice) is used consistently for almost every Sample Problem. Many quantitative problems are accompanied by a Road Map, a block diagram specific to the problem that leads students visually through the planned steps. Students then have an opportunity to solve a Follow-Up Problem, a similar problem to the Sample Problem that provides immediate practice.
Wealth of Problem Material. An exceptionally large number of qualitative, quantitative, and molecular-scene problems end each chapter. The problem material contains a wide range of difficulties and applications targeting student interests in engineering, medicine, science, materials, and environmental studies.
Real World Applications. Chemical Connections boxed essays that show the interdisciplinary nature of chemistry by applying chemical principles directly to related scientific fields, including physiology, geology, biochemistry, engineering, and environmental science; and Tools of the Laboratory boxed essays allow students to understand and apply chemistry concepts to everyday life.
Emphasis on Quantity Rather than Unit. The Canadian authors have consistently guided students to understand the difference between measured quantities and the units used to measure these quantities by referring to them separately. In the Sample, Worked, Follow-Up and end-of-chapter problems, students are asked to find quantities rather than units (ie. "What volume of HCl (aq)..." rather than "How many millilitres of HCl (aq)...").
Consistent Use of Metric and SI Units. All reference to units other than metric and SI units has been removed from the Silberberg text to ensure consistency with IUPAC recommendations.
Adherence to IUPAC Recommendations. The entire text is IUPAC consistent.
Expanded Material on Organic Chemistry. Expanded coverage of organic chemistry across 3 chapters (Chapter 20-22) addresses the General Chemistry course needs at many Canadian post-secondary institutions.
