Fundamentals of General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Fundamentals of General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry (Eighth Edition) is a two-semester text that presents a clear and flexible approach to general, organic, and biological chemistry, designed for the modern classroom. The book is particularly well suited for students in allied health and health science programs, with an increased emphasis on clinical relevance and real-world applications of chemistry. The Eighth Edition encourages active learning through a variety of student-centered features. Each chapter includes Hands-on Chemistry activities that allow students to explore key concepts through simple experiments using everyday household materials. Group Problems at the end of each chapter promote collaboration, critical thinking, and the application of chemical principles to higher-level and clinically focused problems. Chapter introductions, Chemistry in Action boxes, and end-of-chapter exercises have been revised to strengthen the clinical focus, making the material more relevant and engaging for allied health majors. In addition, the biochemistry chapters have been carefully updated to reflect current research and teaching practices. Fully integrated with MasteringChemistry, this edition provides an interactive and personalized learning experience, making it an effective and engaging resource for today’s students.
