Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, Third Edition is an innovative, pedagogically driven text that explains challenging concepts in a student-oriented manner. Nivaldo Tro creates a rigorous and accessible treatment of general chemistry in the context of relevance and the big picture. Chemistry is presented visually through multi-level images-macroscopic, molecular, and symbolic representations-helping students see the connections between the world they see around them (macroscopic), the atoms and molecules that compose the world (molecular), and the formulas they write down on paper (symbolic). The hallmarks of Dr. Tro's problem-solving approach are reinforced through interactive media that provide students with an office-hour type of environment built around worked examples and expanded coverage on the latest developments in chemistry. Pioneering features allow students to sketch their ideas through new problems, and much more.

Nivaldo Tro is a chemistry professor at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California, where he has worked since 1990. His Ph.D. was awarded to him. For work on creating and applying optical tools to examine the adsorption and desorption of molecules to and from surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum, he received a Ph.D. in chemistry from Stanford University. He then went on to perform post-doctoral research on ultra-fast reaction dynamics in solution at the University of California, Berkeley. Professor Tro has received funds from the American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund, Research Corporation, and the National Science Foundation to investigate the dynamics of diverse processes in thin adlayer films adsorbed on dielectric surfaces since arriving at Westmont.

He has been named Westmont's outstanding instructor of the year on two occasions, as well as the college's outstanding researcher of the year. Professor Tro, his wife Ann, and their four children, Michael, Ali, Kyle, and Kaden, live in Santa Barbara. Professor Tro spends his free time reading wonderful books to his children and spending time outside with his family.
