Features: This book primarily emphasizes how to present the overall knowledge framework of the chemistry discipline to medical students. Through this course, students will not only gain a comprehensive understanding of the chemistry discipline and its key components but also develop an overall understanding of the interrelationships between chemistry, medicine, and biology. This will help students recognize that chemistry is a fundamental discipline for biomedical studies. The book provides commonly used important English names of chemical terms in chemistry and includes relevant English reading materials at the end of each chapter, laying a foundation for bilingual teaching in subsequent courses. The book consists of 11 chapters, covering topics such as atomic structure, molecular structure and crystal structure, coordination chemistry, basic laws and functions of chemical thermodynamics, thermodynamics of solution systems—chemical potential, chemical equilibrium, and thermodynamic principles of phase equilibrium, reaction rates, redox reactions and electrochemistry, colloid chemistry, elemental chemistry, and analytical chemistry. This book serves as a foundational textbook for undergraduate medical, pharmaceutical, and biological science programs and can also be referenced by researchers in related fields.
