Features: This book was completed under the guidance of this philosophy. The specific content is divided into four parts.
Part 1 explains the history of the discovery of substances and their elements, as well as other cases in the history of chemistry, to illustrate the role of various empirical and rational methods in obtaining experimental facts and establishing scientific hypotheses and theories. It helps students understand the different methods in detail and deeply grasp the role of theory in the experimental process.
Part 2 presents the process of establishing various chemical theories to enable students to understand that chemical theories are gradually developed. It helps students grasp that the essence of the development of chemical theories is the nature of hypotheses, thereby forming the concept that the truth of chemical theories is relative.
Part 3 showcases the attitudes, styles, and spirits of some historical chemists in their research activities, presenting to students in an emotional form the scientific spirit that should be possessed in the process of chemical research. It allows students to receive education in life views, values, and scientific perspectives, fostering a scientific and striving ambition.
Part 4 demonstrates the positive and negative impacts of the application of chemistry in society to students, helping them understand that chemistry is a double-edged sword. It enables students to recognize the social responsibilities that chemists should bear.
