| Abstract |
New technologies based on chemistry have been accumulated as outcome of social needs, leading to quantitative and qualitative growth in basic science. Fortunately, there is still no change in fundamental knowledge required for students who are about to study chemistry at college and concrete basic contents encountered on textbooks for general chemistry is good hand at education.
The books provide the introduction of wide areas of chemistry composing of more than 20 chapters including some history and recent attractive events and usually reviewed throughout and speedy in two semesters. Several specified chapters arranged in the rear can be skipped in general education course such as nucleus chemistry, organic and bio-organic chemistry, and inorganic chemistry in spite of significance in chemistry, chemistry related science and engineering. Equilibrium-related chapters need to be compressed. Whole chapters are not necessary for every student when considering satisfaction and comprehension. The selection of the contents is essential for providing effective education of general chemistry and considered especially for a class consisting of students with different experience and learning from various curriculums of high school. It`s no wonder that supplementary materials such as short video and photographs exhibiting related experimental evidences improve the chemistry education. These supplementary data are better to be given by KCS or authentic educational institution.
