Description: At the root of students’ fear for chemistry are numerous theories, difficult terminology, countless derivations and overemphasis on chemical equations. Instructional delivery, thus, plays an important role in making the subject friendly to the student.
A difficult concept in chemistry can be better conquered by an innovative teaching approach using visual teaching aids, which creates an atmosphere conducive to learning especially in a class of students with diverse academic backgrounds and goals.
Instructors can thus extract the best from an available textbook and direct the students to explore ideas and visualize chemistry in a new dimension under an interactive environment. Colourful pictures with space-filling, three-dimensional representations make great visual appeal to students.
Treating chemistry with intelligent application of visual aids in the classroom can best work to satisfy the individual learning needs of students.

This book takes the advantage of a revolutionary technique (vectorized graphics) in bringing out all the drawings close to reality. Vector graphics incorporate edge detection, anti-aliasing, gradation and numerous other technical features to add clarity and precision to images. In essence, drawings reproduced in this book can be easily committed to long-term memory of a visual learner.
Study tips featured in the book serve as portals for easy recollection of key concepts and ideas discussed in each chapter.
Internet influence helps in furthering the knowledge of students to a more specific level by providing links to carefully chosen interactive web pages.
