Our lives are inseparable from chemistry, and our surroundings are filled with chemical substances and chemical-related industrial products. Most people have studied chemistry in high school, but for those who dislike it, chemistry is often perceived as overly calculation-intensive and requiring too much memorization. One of the main reasons for this perception is the lack of a connection between chemical knowledge and practical applications, or in other words, a shallow understanding of the overall concept of the material world. For general readers like company employees, they hope to quickly grasp an overview of chemistry, including basic knowledge and modern trends, but struggle to find a book that meets their needs. This book is perfect for such demands. Of course, it is also hoped that high school or university students who find chemistry confusing or boring will read this book to change their perception of it.
The author was once a chemistry teacher for both junior and senior high schools, an author of chemistry textbooks for junior and senior high schools, and a chemistry teacher for college entrance and adult college entrance exams. Currently, as a university professor, he teaches fundamental chemistry and the relationship between chemistry and modern society. The book is designed for general readers, striving to combine knowledge with interest, vividly revealing the close connection between chemistry and life. It is an accessible and engaging read on chemistry.
