Chemistry: Unlocking the Secrets of Life
 |
Description
Book Introduction
"Chemistry: Unraveling the Secrets of Life" is a textbook written by professors from the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Chemistry Education at Gyeongsang National University to help readers easily understand the basic concepts of chemistry and explore how chemistry works in real life.
Part 1 covers the fundamental properties of matter and the basic concepts of atoms, molecules, and chemical reactions.
This fundamental understanding is crucial for chemistry to explain the world of matter, and it allows us to explore the various fields of chemistry by exploring the relationship between energy and chemistry, and the world of organic compounds and polymers.
Part 2 explores the world of geochemistry.
Understand the chemical composition of the natural environment, such as the atmosphere, water, and soil, and address the impact of human activities on the environment.
This helps us achieve sustainable development by understanding the chemical causes and solutions to environmental problems.
Part 3 examines the application of chemistry in everyday life.
It explains the role of chemistry in various aspects such as housing, kitchen, clothing, cosmetics, and medicine, showing that chemistry does not exist only in the laboratory.
By understanding the chemistry that occurs in our daily lives, readers can make better choices and protect their health and the environment.
This book aims to help readers understand the basic concepts of chemistry and, based on this understanding, expand their chemical thinking in everyday life.
We also want you to know that chemistry plays a vital role in improving our quality of life and protecting the environment.
