At the same time, it also elaborates on the contributions of chemistry to improving human quality of life, such as continuously providing humans with new materials and new technologies. Chemistry will also provide essential help in extending human lifespan. In our daily lives, we often encounter flammable, explosive, and toxic substances. Only by understanding their principles can we prevent potential hazards. This book also provides readers with knowledge on "avoiding harm." By reading the entire book, you will gain a deeper understanding of the chemical phenomena occurring around you, from knowing what happens to understanding why it happens, and further grasp some basic principles and knowledge in chemistry. This book serves as a reference for non-chemistry majors at the undergraduate level.
