Introduction to General Chemistry (Foster, William)

Introduction to Biological Chemistry

H A P T E R O U T L IN E 1. Learn about the basic chemistry related to atoms and molecules. Understand the roles of orbitals and lone-pair electrons in a few common atoms (e.g., N, F, C, O) and comprehend nucleophilic/electrophilic attacks and their impact on oxidation, reduction, addition, and substitution reactions. 2. List and explain the importance of medicinal functional groups that common...

GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO THE CHEMISTRY OF DYES 1. Principles of Colour Chemistry

Unlike most organic compounds, dyes possess colour because they 1) absorb light in the visible spectrum (400–700 nm), 2) have at least one chromophore (colour-bearing group), 3) have a conjugated system, i.e. a structure with alternating double and single bonds, and 4) exhibit resonance of electrons, which is a stabilizing force in organic compounds (Abrahart, 1977). When any one of these featu...

An Introduction to the Work of William

The papers reprinted here from the published work of William W. Rozeboom were selected to introduce readers to his notion of “explanatory induction” (EI), a fundamental form of inference that he took to be a major facet of human intelligence, whether in the rudimentary forms it takes in the “common-sense” inferences we make every day without a second thought, or in the more advanced and selfcon...
