Chemistry And Chemical Reactivity International Edition 8th Edition By John C. Kotz – Test Bank

John C. Kotz is a distinguished State University of New York Educator Emeritus at the College in Oneonta. Having received education at Washington and Lee University, as well as Cornell University, he undertook postdoctoral positions under the aegis of the National Institutes of Health at the University of Manchester Institute for Science and Technology in England and at Indiana University. Professor Kotz has jointly authored three textbooks in multiple editions – INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, CHEMICAL INTERACTION & REACTIVITY, and THE CHEMICAL WORLD – encompassing the INTERACTIVE GENERAL CHEMISTRY CD-ROM. Moreover, he has published research works on inorganic chemistry and electrochemistry. In 1979, he served as a Fulbright Lecturer and Research Scholar in Portugal and subsequently assumed a visiting professorship there in 1992. He also held visiting professorial roles at the Institute for Chemical Education (University of Wisconsin, 1991-1992) and at Auckland University in New Zealand (1999). He delivered keynote addresses at a gathering of the South African Chemical Society and at the biennial conference catering to high school chemistry teachers in New Zealand. In addition to mentoring the U.S. Chemistry Olympiad Team, Professor Kotz has received numerous accolades, including the State University of New York Chancellor’s Award (1979), a National Catalyst Award for Excellence in Teaching (1992), the Estee Lectureship in Chemical Education at the University of South Dakota (1998), the Visiting Scientist Award from the Western Connecticut Section of the American Chemical Society (1999), and the inaugural Distinguished Education Award from the Binghamton (New York) Section of the American Chemical Society (2001).

Paul M. Treichel, earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1958 and attained a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1962. Following a year of postdoctoral research in London, he assumed a faculty role at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He held the position of department chair from 1986 to 1995 and was bestowed a Helfaer Professorship in 1996. He has undertaken visiting professorships in South Africa (1975) and Japan (1995). Retiring after a dedicated 44-year tenure as a faculty member in 2007, he presently serves as Emeritus Professor of Chemistry. Throughout his academic trajectory, he delivered courses in general chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organometallic chemistry, and scientific ethics. Professor Treichel’s exploratory work in organometallic and metallic cluster chemistry as well as in mass spectrometry, conducted in collaboration with 75 graduate and undergraduate students, has culminated in the publication of over 170 papers in scientific journals.

John R. Townsend, a Professor of Chemistry at West Chester University of Pennsylvania, accomplished his Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry in conjunction with the Approved Program for Teacher Certification in Chemistry at the University of Delaware. Following a career in teaching high school science and mathematics, he pursued his Master of Science and Ph.D. in biophysical chemistry at Cornell University, where he garnered the DuPont Teaching Award for his activities as a teaching assistant. Following his stint at Bloomsburg University, he joined the faculty at West Chester University, where he supervises the chemistry education program for prospective high school educators and the general chemistry lecture series for collegiate science majors. He served as the faculty supervisor for over 60 potential high school chemistry instructors during their practicum semester. His scholarly interests lie within the realms of chemical education and biochemistry. He may be reached via email at [email protected].
