General Organic and Biological Chemistry, 3rd Edition
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Jan 2010, Pages: 624
This General, Organic and Biochemistry text has been written for students preparing for careers in health-related fields such as nursing, dental hygiene, nutrition, medical technology and occupational therapy. It is also suited for students majoring in other fields where it is important to have an understanding of the basics of chemistry. Students need have no previous background in chemistry, but should possess basic math skills. Raymond was crafted to take advantage of recent trends in the GOB market. It is a shorter, lighter book with a new, integrated table of contents that develops general, organic, and biochemistry topics together, rather than in isolation.
In introducing GOB material, this text uses an integrated approach in which related general chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry topics are presented in adjacent chapters. This approach helps students see the strong connections that exist between these three branches of chemistry, and allows instructors to discuss these, interrelationships while the material is still fresh in students' minds. Having a shorter time interval between when a topic is first presented and when it is reintroduced can help students assimilate the material more readily.
This integration involves the following sets of chapters:
A study of bonding and compounds (chapter 3) is followed by a first look at organic compounds (chapter 4) and then an introduction to inorganic and organic reactions (chapter 5)
The study of acid/base chemistry (Chapter 8) followed by a chapter on organic acids and bases (Chapter 8), and the chemistry of alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones (Chapter 9), followed by that of carbohydrates (Chapter 10).
New to this Edition
- End of chapter problems appear in pairs and the number of problems has increased by 30%.
- Multi-step “Learning Group Problems” designed to be worked with other students have been added to each chapter.
- Shortening and combining two chapters (Gases, Liquids and Solids and Solutions, Colloids and Suspensions), has reduced the total chapter count from 15 to 14.
- In response to reviewer feedback, the chapter on lipids (formerly chapter 8) is now placed later in the text (chapter 11)
- The order in which reactions are presented in Chapter 5 (Reactions) has been changed to improve flow.
- HealthLinks and Biochemistry Links have been updated, replaced, and revised.
- Increased focus on showing balanced organic and biochemical equations.
- Treatment of formal charge has been dropped.
- Discussion of free energy has been scaled back.
- The introduction to carboxylic acids, alcohols, and esters has been removed from chapter 4.
- The discussion of enantiomers and diastereomers has been moved to the carbohydrate chapter.
- End of chapter summaries have been reformatted to include a table organized by the following categories: chapter section. Objective, summary of the chapter section, a listing of relevant sample and practice problems for each section, and a listing of relevant end of chapter problems for each section.
