| Summary |
Perhaps no scientific field is less understood and appreciated by the public, and in particular by students, than chemistry. A general misunderstanding of the nature of chemistry and even the meaning of the word chemical pervades our society. Students and the general public alike are further unaware of the broad scope of chemistry and the impact of the discipline on many fields. Conveying the importance and relevance of chemistry to our world is one of the greatest challenges facing chemists and chemical educators today. Chemistry Connections: The Chemical Basis of Everyday Phenomena highlights this fundamental role of chemical principles in governing our everyday experiences and observations through a collection of provocative, topical questions. For the past 15 years, ACS and NSF have been pushing to make the study of chemistry more relevant to our understanding of chemical phenomena in day-to-day life. This supplement and text reference provides students and teachers with the real-world applications of c |
