Abstract: General Chemistry (9th ed.) provides a comprehensive and structured introduction to the fundamental principles of chemistry. The textbook is designed to support student understanding through a balanced approach that integrates theoretical concepts with problem-solving techniques. It covers essential topics such as atomic structure, periodic trends, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, kinetics, equilibrium, and acid–base chemistry. The book also addresses states of matter, solutions, and electrochemistry, linking these concepts to real-world applications. Emphasis is placed on developing analytical skills, with numerous worked examples, illustrations, and practice problems that guide students in applying chemical principles effectively. The text is widely used in introductory chemistry courses for science and health-related disciplines, providing a solid foundation for further study.

The book explains how chemical structure influences the biological activity of drugs, emphasizing the relationship between molecular properties and therapeutic effects. It covers key topics such as drug–receptor interactions, structure–activity relationships (SAR), physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetics, and drug metabolism. The text also explores modern approaches to drug design, including rational drug design, combinatorial chemistry, and computer-aided drug development. In addition, the book discusses various classes of therapeutic agents, illustrating how medicinal chemistry principles are applied in the discovery and optimization of drugs. Designed for students of pharmacy, chemistry, and related disciplines, it combines theoretical foundations with practical examples to support understanding of how medicines are developed and used.
