The new fifth edition of Chemistry: Atoms First by Burdge and Overby builds further on the success of the first four editions. The Atoms First approach provides a consistent and logical method for teaching general chemistry. This approach starts with the fundamental building block of matter, the atom, and uses it as the stepping-stone to understanding more complex chemistry topics.
