Features: This book is a textbook for the General Chemistry course within the new system model of 21st-century engineering chemistry curriculum reform (a two-stage curriculum system centered on physical chemistry). It incorporates preliminary content of physical chemistry principles and selects relevant chemical principles and basic chemical knowledge from a modern perspective. The book is divided into two parts. Part 1 is Chemical Principles (Chapters 1 to 11), which starts from the microscopic essence and then discusses the macroscopic laws of chemistry. Part 2 is Introduction to Chemistry (Chapters 12 to 21), which constructs a framework for modern chemical basic knowledge, reflects the characteristics of engineering chemistry, and introduces knowledge related to chemical progress and the development of modern high technology. Each chapter includes biographies of renowned scientists and reference bibliographies. Additionally, short essays are contributed by experts from fields such as astronomy, aerospace, information, materials, and biology, demonstrating the interdisciplinary integration of other disciplines with chemistry. This book can serve as a textbook for majors in chemical engineering and pharmaceuticals, materials, environmental safety, light industry and textile food, and biological engineering in institutions of higher learning, as well as a reference for professionals in related fields.
