A chemistry textbook you'll never forget once you read it.
Description
Book Introduction
Why on earth do we find chemistry difficult?
Is it that you don't understand properly?
The science you learn in school becomes difficult after the beginning.
It's the same whether it's water, food, or land.
Then, as you advance in grade level, there comes a time when you have to choose among science subjects.
They say that if you are good at memorizing, choose biology, and if you are good at abstract concepts or complex calculations, choose physics.
Although it varies slightly every year, it is said that among the science subjects that Korean students choose for the CSAT, the most common is Earth Science, and the least is Physics.
So what about chemistry? It's a subject that falls somewhere in between.
Although not as much as physics, there is a lot of abstract content and quite a few calculation problems.
In addition, there is a certain amount of content that must be memorized, such as biology or earth science.
However, this book, "A Chemistry Textbook You'll Never Forget Once You Read It," explains chemistry without requiring difficult calculations and memorization.
This book is for those who want to become familiar with chemistry even though it is difficult, and those who need to study chemistry right away but have no idea what it is talking about.
Because chemistry is ultimately a story about atoms, it explains them in detail and in writing so that you can imagine atoms that cannot be seen with your eyes.

Carbon dioxide is absorbed as a raw material by plants during photosynthesis, and some of it dissolves in water and enters the bodies of living things.
The organic matter produced by plants through photosynthesis becomes food for animals and humans on Earth.
So, if we trace back to the 'root' of the food we eat, we can say that it was carbon dioxide in the air.
The carbon in carbon dioxide does not disappear like this, but circulates around the Earth.
--- From the "Prologue"
Sodium chloride is a state in which chlorine atoms and sodium atoms are not bonded to a specific partner, but rather each bonded to several surrounding sodium and chlorine atoms.
To explain in more detail, sodium changes into a cation called sodium ion, and chlorine changes into an anion called chloride ion. The two attract each other due to the electrostatic force (Coulomb force) of positive and negative charges, forming a crystal.
--- From "Chapter 1"
In 1774, Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) of England published a book titled “Experiments and Observations on the Varieties of Air.”
Priestley collected various gases and investigated their properties by substituting them with mercury rather than by substituting them with water.
Even gases that are highly soluble in water and cannot be collected by water substitution can be collected using this method.
Priestley also succeeded in investigating hydrogen chloride (which, when dissolved in water, forms hydrochloric acid) and ammonia.
But Priestley's greatest discovery, no matter what anyone says, was oxygen.
--- From Chapter 2
The tendency of an atom to release or gain electrons can be determined by looking at its position on the periodic table.
It has to do with the distance between the nucleus and the outermost shell.
The farther away the outermost shell is from the nucleus, the easier it is to shed electrons from the outermost shell, and the closer the outermost shell is from the nucleus, the easier it is to accept electrons into the outermost shell.
The third period, located in the center of the periodic table, is largely divided into two groups: metallic elements and non-metallic elements, based on aluminum.
When a metallic element and a non-metallic element react, in most cases an ionic compound (ionic crystal) is formed.
--- From Chapter 3
Protein is an important nutrient that makes up the human body.
Proteins are very large molecules (polymers) formed by the combination of many amino acids containing nitrogen atoms.
The characteristic of amino acids is that, in addition to carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, they always contain nitrogen as a constituent element.
There are also amino acids that contain sulfur.
Our body's soft tissues, such as hair, skin, internal organs, and tendons, are all made of protein.
Also, enzymes that carry out various chemical reactions in the body are made of proteins.
--- From Chapter 4
Avogadro's law states that 'equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules.
For example, at 0℃ and 1.013×105Pa (=1013hPa), 1 mol of gas occupies 22.4L.
Also, I told you that Boyle's law holds true regardless of the type of gas.
The equation of state of a gas is also derived from Charles-Boyle's law.
According to Charles's law, the volume of a gas increases or decreases by 1/273 of its volume at 0℃ for every 1℃ increase or decrease in temperature under constant pressure, regardless of the type of gas.
--- From Chapter 5
In both the reaction of copper with oxygen and the reaction of copper with chlorine, copper releases electrons and changes into copper(II) ions.
If we look at oxidation-reduction from the perspective of electron movement, losing (releasing) electrons is called oxidation, and conversely, gaining (receiving) electrons is called reduction.
In this way, chemists further expanded the range of reactions known as oxidation and reduction.
Oxidation can no longer be viewed solely as a reaction with oxygen.
However, in the case of copper atoms, copper(II) ions, oxygen molecules, and oxide ions, the movement of electrons was distinct, so it did not matter. However, what about oxidation-reduction between molecules formed by covalent bonds between atoms?
--- From Chapter 6
It is beginning to be discovered that various organic substances can be artificially created from inorganic substances.
Most organic substances have a carbon skeleton, and organic substances are accepted as 'substances based on hydrocarbons with hydrogen bonded to a carbon skeleton, and containing oxygen atoms, nitrogen atoms, etc.'
However, diamond, graphite (a simple element of carbon) and carbonates were originally treated as minerals and are therefore classified as inorganic substances.
The same goes for carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen cyanide.
The organic matter produced by plants through photosynthesis becomes food for animals and humans on Earth.
So, if we trace back to the 'root' of the food we eat, we can say that it was carbon dioxide in the air.
The carbon in carbon dioxide does not disappear like this, but circulates around the Earth.

Publisher's Review
From ancient alchemy to modern alchemy,
Looking back at the history of chemistry
Explaining the invisible world!
Chemistry is a 'difficult subject'.
Why is it difficult? It's not simply difficult because it's difficult.
As with all science, it is difficult because we have to imagine a world we cannot see with our eyes.
But when we make the invisible world visible, chemistry becomes exciting rather than difficult.
"A Chemistry Textbook You Can't Forget Once You Read It" is a book that reorganizes the high school chemistry curriculum.
Since chemistry is 'a story surrounding atoms,' each unit is reconstructed and explained with atoms as the main character.
It is not simply an introductory book to chemistry, but a storybook related to chemistry.
Chemistry, in a word, is the study of 'changes in matter'.
Change is an area that cannot be understood simply by memorizing it.
Conversely, this also means that if you understand it, you don't have to struggle to memorize it.
If you understand it, you don't have to memorize the entire periodic table, which has nearly 100 elements.
Moreover, this book says that you only need to memorize about 10 of them, which usually appear countless times in chemical formulas and chemical reaction equations.
We are talking about hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, etc. that we are familiar with.
Understand the adventure of the atom as one story,
Let's take chemistry step by step!
The history of chemistry begins with ancient Greek philosophers who sought to answer the question, “What is everything made of?”
Although it may seem like an unrelated field of study in our daily lives, we live surrounded by products and substances related to chemistry and the chemical industry.
The superconductor 'LK-99', a recent hot issue, is also closely related to chemistry.
Among the data published by the research team at Korea University, the chemical formula of LK-99 [Pb9Cu(PO4)6] is like that.
If LK-99 were proven to be a true superconductor, perhaps many people would memorize its chemical formula. Chemistry is not far removed from our daily lives.
This book is based on the Japanese high school curriculum, but it is also similar to the Korean high school chemistry curriculum.
In the introduction, we discuss the characteristics of matter, that is, what atoms are and what substances they are made of.
Chapter 1 deals with the state of atoms, changes in matter, and chemical reaction equations representing them.
Chapter 2 looks back at the history of chemistry, which is the foundation of modern chemistry.
It covers the period from ancient Greece to the chemical revolution of the 18th century and the birth of the periodic table in the 19th century.
Chapter 3 analyzes the periodic table in detail, and Chapter 4 focuses on the ten most commonly used elements in the periodic table.
Chapter 5 explains in detail the 'mol', the basic unit of measurement in chemistry.
Chapter 6 covers redox reactions in detail, and the final chapter, Chapter 7, explores the world of organic matter.
