Problem description:
I am a biology major, but I have to study college chemistry in my freshman year, edited by Hu Changwei. Now my teacher speaks Mandarin with a serious dialect, which I can't understand. I must teach myself. Who can help me and give some advice on how to learn college chemistry well? What reference books are useful? thank you
Analysis:
As your senior, I must give you some advice:
1. Compared with college chemistry, high school chemistry differs by a hundred thousand miles. College chemistry is much more complicated than high school chemistry in content and scope. Don't take it lightly, otherwise it is easy to fail!
2. University chemistry is divided into five major chemistries: inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, organic chemistry and polymer chemistry. Among them, inorganic chemistry is the first to learn. Note: Don't think that you can relax by learning more inorganic chemistry in high school. Usually, the risk of failing inorganic chemistry is no less than that of high numbers. In addition, physical chemistry is the most important and abnormal course in chemistry. It involves all problems in theoretical chemistry and applied chemistry. It is used in all disciplines of chemical research. Moreover, the research of quantum physics, biology and other disciplines and their frontier fields are closely related to it. I say it is not normal because the issues it discusses are both difficult to understand and illusory, such as quantum chemistry and chemical kinetics. What is even more frightening is that learning it well requires a very solid mathematical foundation. !
Physical chemistry is not the most difficult for biology majors. It is said that biochemistry is a more abnormal course than physical chemistry. Work hard!
I don't think reference books are necessary, just choose a good textbook.
Personally, I think a better textbook is:
Inorganic chemistry: inorganic chemistry edited by Dalian University of Technology Higher Education Press.
Analytical Chemistry: Analytical Chemistry edited by Wuhan University Higher Education Press.
Physical Chemistry: Physical Chemistry edited by Tianjin University Higher Education Press.
Organic Chemistry: Sorry, I forgot!
You have the courage to choose biology major, so work hard!
