Features: With China's entry into the WTO, international competition has become increasingly fierce. In reality, international competition is a competition of talent and education. To accelerate the cultivation of high-level technical talents with international competitiveness and speed up the pace of educational reform in China, the Ministry of Education has recently introduced a series of policies advocating universities to conduct bilingual teaching and introduce original textbooks. Taking this as an opportunity, Machinery Industry Press plans to launch a series of foreign-reprinted textbooks in the near future, covering public foundational courses in higher education as well as professional foundational and specialized courses in the fields of mechanical, electrical, and information technology. The book is divided into 19 chapters, with the first 12 chapters focusing on fundamental principles of chemistry. Through an introduction to the development of the discipline and connections to real-life scenarios, students can easily understand and accept the fundamental principles and concepts of chemistry. The last 7 chapters are designed to provide students with experience in reading materials related to other topics in chemistry, covering relatively independent applied fields such as chemicals in daily life, material resources, and energy. Each chapter includes key terms and definitions, review questions, discussions on chemical phenomena in daily life, exercises, and discussion topics. The book is written in a reader-friendly style, with lively and engaging language. It covers a wide range of topics, uses vivid and interesting analogies, and is highly readable with illustrations. The layout design and section arrangements are innovative and distinctive.
