Chemistry³ : Introducing inorganic, organic and physical chemistry
Chemistry is widely considered to be the central science: it encompasses concepts on which all other branches of science are developed.Yet, for many students entering university, gaining a firm grounding in chemistry is a real challenge.Chemistry³ responds to this challenge, providing students with a full understanding of the fundamental principles of chemistry on which to build later studies. Uniquely amongst the introductory chemistry texts currently available, Chemistry³'s author team brings together experts in each of organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry with specialists in chemistry education to provide balanced coverage of the fundamentals of chemistry in a way that students both enjoy and understand.The result is a text that builds on what students know already from school and tackles their misunderstandings and misconceptions, thereby providing a seamless transition from school to undergraduate study.Written with unrivalled clarity, students are encouraged to engage with the text and appreciate the central role that chemistry plays in our lives through the unique use of real-world context and photographs.Chemistry³ tackles head-on two issues pervading chemistry education: students' mathematical skills, and their ability to see the subject as a single, unified discipline.Instead of avoiding the maths, Chemistry³ provides structured support, in the form of careful explanations, reminders of key mathematical concepts, step-by-step calculations in worked examples, and a Maths Toolkit, to help students get to grips with the essential mathematical element of chemistry.Frequent cross-references highlight the connections between each strand of chemistry and explain the relationship between the topics, so students can develop an understanding of the subject as a whole.Digital formats and resourcesChemistry³ is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats, and is supported by online resources.The e-book offers a mobile experience and convenient access along with functionality tools, navigation features, and links that offer extra learning support: www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk/ebooks The e-book also features interactive animations of molecular structures, screencasts in which authors talk step-by-step through selected examples and key reaction mechanisms, and self-assessment activities for each chapter.The accompanying online resources will also include, for students: · Chapter 1 as an open-access PDF;· Chapter summaries and key equations to download, to support revision;· Worked solutions to the questions in the book. The following online resources are also provided for lecturers:· Test bank of ready-made assessments for each chapter with which to test your students· Problem-solving workshop activities for each chapter for you to use in class· Case-studies showing how instructors are successfully using Chemistry3 in digital learning environments and to support innovative teaching practices· Figures and tables from the book

Why is organic chemistry called organic chemistry?
Organic chemistry is called so because it was originally believed that compounds found in living organisms could only be produced by living organisms, and were therefore called "organic" compounds. This belief was later disproven, but the name stuck. Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-containing compounds, which are abundant in living organisms, and it focuses on the structure, properties, and reactions of these compounds.

What are alkanes in organic chemistry?
Alkanes are a class of organic compounds that consist of only carbon and hydrogen atoms, with single covalent bonds between the carbon atoms. They are also known as saturated hydrocarbons because they contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible for their carbon chain. Alkanes are the simplest and most basic type of hydrocarbon, and they are commonly found in natural gas and petroleum. The general formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2, where n represents the number of carbon atoms in the molecule.
-
What are branches in organic chemistry?
Branches in organic chemistry refer to the different sub-disciplines or areas of study within the field of organic chemistry. These branches can include areas such as organic synthesis, organometallic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, and physical organic chemistry. Each branch focuses on specific aspects of organic molecules, reactions, and properties, and contributes to our understanding of the behavior and applications of organic compounds in various fields such as medicine, materials science, and environmental science. Overall, the branches of organic chemistry help to further our knowledge and application of organic compounds in diverse areas of research and industry.

Why is it called organic chemistry?
Organic chemistry is called so because it originally focused on compounds that were derived from living organisms, such as plants and animals. These compounds were believed to contain a vital force or "life force" (called "organic" in Greek) that distinguished them from inorganic compounds. Over time, the definition of organic chemistry has expanded to include the study of carbon-containing compounds, regardless of their origin, but the historical roots of the field are reflected in its name.
-
Is organic or inorganic chemistry more difficult?
The difficulty of organic versus inorganic chemistry can vary depending on the individual's background, interests, and learning style. Organic chemistry is often considered more challenging due to its focus on the structure, properties, and reactions of carbon-containing compounds, which can be complex and require a deep understanding of molecular structures and mechanisms. In contrast, inorganic chemistry deals with the properties and behavior of inorganic compounds, which may involve a different set of concepts and principles. Ultimately, the difficulty of each subject is subjective and can vary from person to person.
-
Is chemistry also present in organic products?
Yes, chemistry is present in organic products. Organic products are made up of molecules containing carbon, which is the basis of organic chemistry. The interactions and reactions between these carbon-containing molecules involve various chemical processes. Understanding the chemistry behind organic products is important for their production, analysis, and quality control.
-
How has organic chemistry evolved over time?
Organic chemistry has evolved significantly over time, from its early roots in the study of compounds derived from living organisms to a broader understanding of the structure, properties, and reactions of carbon-containing compounds. The development of new analytical techniques, such as spectroscopy and chromatography, has allowed for a deeper understanding of organic molecules. Additionally, the field has expanded to include the study of organic materials, polymers, and bioorganic chemistry, reflecting the increasing relevance of organic chemistry to modern technology and medicine. Overall, organic chemistry has evolved to encompass a wide range of compounds and applications, making it a crucial and dynamic field of study.
