Chemistry is a branch of natural science, and my older child, a high school student, is interested in it and wants to study it in college someday. My youngest, who is in elementary school, naturally became interested by following their older sibling. Honestly, Mom doesn't find chemistry appealing, but learning that matter, including humans, and the universe begin with chemistry makes me curious and amazed. I plan to read this book with my children. It explains chemistry through 101 keywords,
I once dreamed of becoming an astronomy student as I gazed at the stars. When I was in middle school, our earth science teacher told us to find a particular constellation in the night sky and draw its position every night to track how it moved. Looking up at the sky from the roof of our three-story home felt like a little taste of heaven. There was a platform on the roof that my grandmother had set up. On dry days everyone competed for a spot on it, but when it rained, everyone gave it up.
I grew up thinking science was a subject you studied only at school. You could say I kept my distance from science. I remember it as a very difficult subject where memorization was only the beginning and you also had to apply what you learned. Chemistry, especially its element symbols and formulas, felt really hard. Looking at the table of contents of 101 Chemistry, I saw many intriguing section titles. As I read, I found that chemistry was closely connected to our everyday lives, and that many
101 Chemistry is one of the 101 series books, offering young people essential knowledge and information through 101 keywords. Along with basic theories such as molecules, atoms, electrons, different chemical bonds, acids and bases, and oxidation and reduction, it presents real-life examples of chemistry in food, the environment, energy, materials, medicine, and pharmaceuticals. People who majored in chemistry might feel the content lacks depth. As a non-major, I sometimes found the explanations
Chemistry 101: Chemistry knowledge builds step by step as you read along. When my child started middle school, they said science was fun, and among physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science, chemistry was their favorite. Then at some point, chemistry started to feel difficult and no longer fun. But the path my child has chosen is closely connected to chemistry, and they need to do well in it, so we have been looking for lots of science books, especially books about chemistry. Chemistry 101
This book contains 101 stories about chemistry, with one idea leading naturally to another, as if the topics were linked by a thread or arranged in a mind map. Where does chemistry begin? The book starts with the ancient Greek theory of the four elements, which held that matter had four basic constituents. Chemistry is the main subject, but, just as it intersects with many areas, the book also brings in stories from other fields. You could say it helps build your general knowledge (?).
101 Chemistry introduces 101 principles and questions related to chemistry. From 'What is matter made of?' to 'Science that solved the food problem,' it shares the history and impact of chemistry, everyday knowledge, and many useful facts about the field. It covers flavor enhancer MSG, which has long contributed to the taste of food; the caffeine we drink every day; vitamins we consume daily; starch and sugar; soft drinks (I'm drinking one now, Welch's Zero made by Nongshim); atoms, molecules,
What is this world made of? The process of exploring that question, starting from simple curiosity, can be seen as one of the forces that advances science. Chemistry developed through questions about matter, and now a book explains this knowledge through 101 terms. 101 Chemistry is the chemistry volume in the Blue Field Jjajjajja series, which explores keywords about the world through 101 terms. It clearly explains 101 pieces of chemical knowledge humanity has discovered about the origin,
People may differ in their reactions and judgments, but the core values and keywords that run through our times are mostly connected to technology, including science, and its effects. These fields can be difficult if you did not study them in school. Those who majored in them or work in them may find them easier, while from a general perspective they can feel like dense academic and theoretical subjects. This book also explains ways to study chemistry and deepen one's understanding of science,
They say the Earth began as a tiny point. That's hard to believe, but apparently modern science explains it that way. Scientists also discovered that it is made of units smaller than atoms, and research continues. They have identified 118 elements. I had studied the periodic table but thought it simply showed the order of the elements; apparently it has to do with electron shells. Even that much makes it clear chemistry is not an easy subject for me. As I read, the book brought up things I had
Normality: 101 Chemistry
They say matter, including humans, and the universe all begin with chemistry. But what do invisible elements, atoms, and nuclei have to do with hydrogen and helium, the basic ingredients of everything in the universe? Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and, together with oxygen, is one of the atoms that make up the water essential to life. Helium is the second most abundant element, but it is rare on Earth. It slowly escapes through cracks underground and gaps in the sand, and even now it moves mixed with other gases as part of the atmosphere. Do we have to memorize all this? No. Chemistry is a field to understand, not memorize. If you are puzzled and thinking, 'Isn't chemistry the subject where you memorize the periodic table, chemical formulas, molecular formulas, and element symbols?' then pay attention. Humans are thoroughly chemical beings. We interact with chemistry at every moment. If you memorize the periodic table but still don't understand oxidation-reduction reactions and find chemistry unfamiliar and difficult, try changing your perspective a little. From the moment we wake up until we go to sleep, chemistry is with us. When we wash, surfactants act to attract greasy dirt so soap can remove it. Chemical reactions are behind the delicious smell of food, how we taste it, and even a refreshing glass of carbonated soda. Fuel for cars and the batteries that power electronic devices involve chemistry, and even while we sleep, we breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. There is hardly anything that is not connected to a chemical reaction.
