Features: This book is tailored to the teaching practices of basic chemistry in current higher medical colleges, adhering to the principles of "Three Basics," "Five Qualities," and "Three Specifics" of textbooks. It is compiled based on the training objectives and requirements for undergraduate medical students. The book focuses on explaining the fundamental concepts and theories of basic chemistry, removes overlapping content with secondary school chemistry, appropriately reduces difficulty, enriches professional examples, and highlights the chemical characteristics of medical disciplines. The book is divided into 13 chapters, covering topics such as solution chemistry (solutions and colloids, electrolyte solutions and ionic equilibrium, and buffer solutions), principles of chemical reactions (fundamentals of chemical thermodynamics, fundamentals of chemical kinetics, redox reactions, and electrode potential), substance structure (atomic structure, covalent bonds and intermolecular forces, and coordination compounds), and common analytical testing techniques (titration analysis and an introduction to instrumental analysis). To broaden students' knowledge and inspire their understanding of the foundational role of chemical elements in improving human life quality, the book appropriately introduces the relationship between chemical elements and human health. This book is suitable for undergraduate students of clinical medicine, basic medicine, preventive medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, nursing, imaging, anesthesia, dentistry, and medical insurance in higher medical institutions. It can also be used as a reference for adult education programs in related fields and for continuing education of medical professionals.
