It is now clear that Chemistry is not only for chemists but also for those scientists – doctors, engineers, technologists, archaeologists, environmentalists, agronomists, etc. – who will need to use this knowledge in their own field of science.

The book is divided into four parts: the first includes General and Inorganic Chemistry, the second Organic Chemistry and Introduction to Biomolecules, the third deals with introductory concepts for more specific topics, such as Nuclear Chemistry and Green Chemistry, while the fourth part is the Laboratory.

Emphasis is placed on understanding chemical phenomena through examples we encounter in our daily lives. Through Chemistry, answers are provided to many questions that concern us: Which foods are considered organic? What is the role of antioxidants? Are toxic substances used in cosmetics? Are there radioactive compounds in homes and the environment? What compounds make up the human and animal body? What causes the greenhouse effect?
