Book Cover & Preview Text
Have you ever wondered about the differences between Lewis dot and hybridization in molecular structure, between matters and antimatters, between alpha decay and beta decay, between energy in electron shells, between symmetrical and unsymmetrical polar covalent bond, and between oxidation and reduction? This is the book for a real journey into many modern chemistry subjects. The book is divided into nine chapters as briefly enlightened below: The first chapter deals with the Chemistry of the Universe, which allows scientists to explore new types of chemical reactions that occur under the extreme conditions of space. The sequence of the formation of the universe, including Big-Bang stage, quantum cosmology, quarks and leptons stage, Inflation stage, hadrons stage and atomic nuclei stage are described in the book. Before we examine universe, it’s important to understand topics such as matter and antimatter, grand unified theory, the Higgs Boson, Feynman diagram, and supersymmetry which are also discussed here. The second chapter is geared toward helping anyone – student or not – to understand shells and subshells, ionic and covalent bonds and how they are formed, including the structure of valence electrons. Understanding of proton decay (alpha, Beta and Gamma) is also included. The Third chapter shows you how to draw molecules, using molecular orbital theory or hybridization. From simple molecules such as the oxygen and water to far more complex molecules, this chapter shows you how to represent them using molecular orbital theory, and hybridization of orbitals. The fourth chapter discusses the fundamental property of donors and acceptors based on the concept of electronegativity. Ligands of π and ð in bonds between transitional metals are also introduced. Chapter 5 gives quite clear picture of molecular polarity, together with symmetrical and unsymmetrical distribution of an atom or molecule when developing a temporary (instantaneous) dipole. Dipole-dipole attachment is also introduced. In Chapter 6, we provide a clear and comprehensive summary of oxidative and reductive processes. Electronegativity on oxidation and reduction is also introduced. Examples are provided. Chapter 7 enables the reader to master the principles and applications of organic functional groups. Readers will find this chapter indispensable for finding information quickly and easily about alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and arenes. Bonding with π and ð is also introduced. Chapter 8 clearly explains the fundamental principles of nomenclature methods, using IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) and enables the reader to apply it accurately and with confidence. The chapter is replete with examples for guidance and there are extensive and complicated figures to direct the reader to nomenclature quickly. Aimed at chemistry teachers and students at all levels, it advises on the best presentation of formulae and chemical figures. The last chapter (chapter 9) gives hands-on chemistry activities with real-life functions. It provides clear and thorough understanding of carbohydrates, polysaccharides, starch and glycogen, cellulose and chitin, nucleotide, nitrogenous hydroxyl and phosphate, lipids, protein, ester, lipoprotein, glycolipid, steroid, mucin, etc. A useful reference for allied health professionals. The book provides a firm foundation in chemical concepts and principles while presenting a broad range of topics in a clear, concise manner.

About the Author
Biography Amin Elsersawi is a Canadian author, engineer and by consensus a biochemist. He received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering with emphasis in power electronic from Bradford University, U.K in 1980. He is a professional engineer registered with the Professional Engineering Society of Ontario Canada Dr. Elsersawi is currently retired. He previously served as general director for notable power generation and distribution energy utility. Prior to that, he was a chief of electrical engineering for the Public Work and Government Services Canada. He published more than 100 papers and reports in engineering and mathematic, biology, astronomy, and chemistry. He spent more than 15 years in teaching at universities and colleges. He compiled his own celestial mechanics algorithms for the precise computation of astrophysics of planets and constellations, and other phenomena such as weak energy, dark universe, quantum radiations and lights. He presented several reports, articles and essays in chemistry and chemical engineering at several seminars and conferences. He is the author of the book Chemistry, Biology and Cancer: the Bond, the book The Atom and the Universe: Theories and Facts unfold, the book Biochemistry of Aging: Wellness and Longevity, the book The Universe and Its Creation: The probability of God and Improbability of Science, the book The Secret of Electricity, the book World of Nanobioengineering: Potential Big Ideas for the Future, and the book The Book of Intelligence and Brain Disorder: Your Brain Must Have All Forms of Intelligence: IQ, EQ, and CQ. Dr. Elsersawi and his wife, Randa, have been happily married since 1969 and have three children. First daughter, a University of Toronto graduate is a practicing Obstetrician-Gynecologist. The second daughter, a graduate in psychology from York University, and the son, a graduate in electrical engineering from Western Ontario University.
