Аннотация:
The subject matter covered in introductory chemistry classes at
the middle and high school levels tends to be fairly traditional
and relatively consistent from school to school. Topics that are
typically covered in such classes include atomic theory, chemical
periodicity, ionic and covalent compounds, equation writing, stoichiometry,
and solutions. While these topics are essential for students
planning to continue their studies in chemistry or the other
sciences and teachers are correct in emphasizing their importance,
they usually provide only a limited introduction to the rich and exciting
character of research currently being conducted in the fi eld of
chemistry. Many students not planning to continue their studies in
chemistry or the other sciences may benefi t from information about
areas of chemistry with immediate impact on their daily lives or
of general intellectual interest. Indeed, science majors themselves
may also benefi t from the study of such subjects.
