The 6th edition of General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life is a comprehensive textbook that covers the fundamental concepts of chemistry as they relate to the world around us. The book is divided into three main sections: general chemistry, organic chemistry, and biological chemistry.
In the general chemistry section, readers will learn about the basic principles of chemistry, including atomic structure, chemical bonding, and chemical reactions. The organic chemistry section delves into the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds, including hydrocarbons, alcohols, and carbohydrates.
The biological chemistry section explores the chemistry of living organisms, including the structure and function of biological molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. Throughout the book, real-world examples and applications are used to illustrate key concepts and help students understand the relevance of chemistry in their everyday lives.
With clear explanations, helpful illustrations, and practice problems, General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life is an essential resource for students studying chemistry and related fields.
This edition retains the full content with the added advantage of portability, allowing readers to easily access and engage with the material from any device, whether in a classroom or during fieldwork.
