My goal in writing this text was to relate the fundamental concepts of general, organic, and biological chemistry to the world around us, and in this way illustrate how chemistry explains many aspects of everyday life. I have followed two guiding principles:ʺ use relevant and interesting applications for all basic chemical conceptsʺ present the material in a student-friendly fashion using bulleted lists, extensive illustrations, and step-by-step problem solvingThis text is different?by design. Since today?s students rely more heavily on visual imagery to learn than ever before, this text uses less prose and more diagrams and figures to reinforce the major themes of chemistry. A key feature is the use of molecular art to illustrate and explaincommon phenomena we encounter every day. Each topic is broken down into small chunks of information that are more manageable and easily learned. Students are given enough detail to understand basic concepts, such as how soap cleans away dirt and why trans fats are undesirable in the diet, without being overwhelmed.
