Chemistry: Structure and Dynamics, 5th Edition is a general chemistry textbook structured around core chemical principles. Developed in conjunction with recommendations from the ACS Task Force on the General Chemistry Curriculum, the text links content through the process of science, the relationship between molecular structure and properties, and connections between microscopic and macroscopic scales.

Core chapters examine elements and compounds, the mole, atomic structure, and chemical bonding, along with liquids, solutions, chemical thermodynamics, and organic chemistry. End-of-chapter special topics further supplement key principles.

The text supports instruction in both small and large lecture courses, using data, models, and leading questions to guide students in formulating concepts.
