Features: This book is based on the lecture notes of "Physical Chemistry and Colloid Chemistry" used in the Department of Biology at Peking University for over 20 years, which were developed according to the syllabus of comprehensive university chemistry major Category B. It has been revised and compiled multiple times. The book includes four main parts: Chemical Thermodynamics, Chemical Kinetics, Colloid and Surface Chemistry, and Structural Chemistry and Structural Analysis, totaling 11 chapters. Each chapter is followed by exercises and reference materials. The book adopts the International System of Units (SI) and symbols specified in the National Standard (GB). Based on the target readership of the book, especially in line with the needs of life science development, it makes reasonable selections and additions of fundamental knowledge in physical chemistry. It includes introductions to the theory of three-dimensional structures, ordered assemblies of amphiphilic molecules, structural chemistry, and structural analysis, striving to integrate the knowledge presented with modern life sciences more closely. This book can serve as a textbook for physical chemistry courses in biological disciplines at comprehensive universities and model institutions, as well as a teaching reference for related majors in medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and forestry institutions.
