About this ebook
The 14th Edition of Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry by Karen Timberlake covers 18 core chapters structurally divided into three major branches of chemistry tailored for allied health and nursing students. [1, 2, 3]
The exact topics covered in the official Pearson Table of Contents include: [1]
General Chemistry
- Chemistry in Our Lives: Introduction to the scientific method, study strategies, and foundational math skills.
- Chemistry and Measurements: Metric units, scientific notation, measured vs. exact numbers, significant figures, and prefixes.
- Matter and Energy: Classification of matter, states of matter, temperature scales, energy, and specific heat.
- Atoms and Elements: The periodic table, atomic structure, electron configurations, and periodic trends.
- Nuclear Chemistry: Radioactivity, radiation measurement, half-lives, and nuclear medical imaging applications.
- Ionic and Molecular Compounds: Chemical bonds, writing formulas, naming chemical compounds, and molecular geometries.
- Chemical Reactions and Quantities: Types of chemical reactions, balancing equations, mole calculations, and stoichiometry.
- Gases: Gas laws (Boyle’s, Charles’s, Gay-Lussac’s, Ideal Gas Law) and partial pressures.
- Solutions: Solubility factors, concentration expressions, dilution calculations, and osmosis.
- Acids and Bases and Equilibrium: pH scale, strong vs. weak acids/bases, chemical equilibrium constants, and biological buffer systems. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Organic Chemistry
- Introduction to Organic Chemistry (Hydrocarbons): Structural properties of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic compounds.
- Aldehydes and Ketones: Properties, structures, and naming conventions of carbonyl-containing organic groups.
- Carboxylic Acids, Esters, Amines, and Amides: Nitrogen and oxygen-based functional groups relevant to pharmaceuticals and metabolic processes. [1, 2]
Biological Chemistry (Biochemistry)
- Carbohydrates: Monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides along with their chemical behaviors.
- Lipids: Fatty acids, triacylglycerols, cell membranes, and steroid structures.
- Amino Acids, Proteins, and Enzymes: Protein structural levels (primary to quaternary), enzyme functions, inhibition, and denaturation.
- Nucleic Acids and Protein Synthesis: DNA and RNA components, replication, transcription, genetic code, and translation.
- Metabolic Pathways and ATP Production: Biochemical energy processes, glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain. [1, 2, 3]
