Features: 21st Century Curriculum Textbook: This book is a revision based on the original third edition. This volume includes three parts: the structure of matter, fundamentals of chemical thermodynamics and kinetics, and principles of aqueous solution chemistry. The book is published in two volumes. The first volume is divided into three parts: the structure of matter, chemical thermodynamics, and principles of aqueous solution chemistry. It introduces atomic structure and periodic law, molecular structure, crystal chemistry, coordination compounds, thermodynamic functions, chemical equilibrium, fundamentals of chemical kinetics, and the four major equilibrium principles of acids and bases, precipitation, redox, and coordination. The authors believe that chemical principles should serve as a foundation for first-year students to learn other chemistry courses, and should not repeat the same level as middle school or subsequent courses. They strive to make the fourth edition of the textbook innovative, well-structured, focused on key points,, easy to teach and learn, and widely applicable. The second volume contains four, five, and six parts: nonmetallic element chemistry, metallic element chemistry, and selected topics in inorganic chemistry. This edition significantly enhances the practical knowledge of element chemistry and adds some content.
