Science of Food
Trisha Russell · Whitworth University
Food Science is a multi-disciplinary field involving chemistry, biochemistry, nutrition, microbiology and engineering to give one the scientific knowledge to solve real problems associated with the many facets of the food system. The basis of the discipline lies in an understanding of the chemistry of food components, such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats and water and the reactions they undergo during processing and storage.

UTSC First-Year Textbook (Winter 2025)
Marco Zimmer-De Iuliis & Anna Galang · University of Toronto Scarbo
The first-year chemistry curriculum at UTSC covers key principles in general chemistry. In CHMA10, the quantum mechanical model of the atom is examined along with how the periodic table is organized. Students enrolled in CHMA11 and CHMA12 will quantitatively examine reactions and equilibria in chemical systems with an emphasis on their thermodynamic properties and chemical kinetics.

Statistical Thermodynamics
Gunnar Jeschke · ETH Zürich
Basics of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics of classical and quantum systems. Concept of ensembles, microcanonical and canonical ensembles, ergodic theorem. Molecular and canonical partition functions and their connection with classical thermodynamics. Quantum statistics. Translational, rotational, vibrational, electronic and nuclear spin partition functions of gases. Determination of the equilibrium constants of gas phase reactions.

Organic Synthesis
Kevin Shea · Smith College
This text is designed to build on traditional Organic Chemistry I and II courses for an Advanced Organic Chemistry class. The focus is on key reaction types that enable the construction of complex organic molecules: pericyclic reactions, transition metal catalyzed reactions, rearrangements, fragmentations, radical reactions, and carbene reactions. It explores these reactions through both mechanism and synthesis problems with many examples from the current literature.

Molecular and Atomic Spectroscopy
Thomas Wenzel · Bates College
A series of collaborative learning activities and accompanying text that develop the areas of molecular and atomic spectroscopy is provided. Chapters on basics of spectrophotometry, ultraviolet/visible absorption, molecular fluorescence, infrared, Raman and atomic spectroscopy are included. These activities are intended to be done in class by students working in groups, but can be modified for use as out-of-class exercises.

Organic Chem I, Laboratory Manual , Chem
Divan Fard · Shasta College
This Organic Chemistry I Laboratory Manual introduces students to essential laboratory techniques and experimental methods used in organic chemistry. Experiments emphasize purification, separation, synthesis, characterization, and analysis of organic compounds while reinforcing concepts such as structure, functional groups, reaction chemistry, and spectroscopy. The manual also promotes safe laboratory practices, careful observation, accurate data collection, and scientific reasoning.

An Introduction to the Electronic Structure of Atoms and Molecules
McMaster University · Richard F. W. Bader
The beginning student of chemistry must have a knowledge of the theory which forms the basis for our understanding of chemistry and he must acquire this knowledge before he has the mathematical background required for a rigorous course of study in quantum mechanics. The present approach is designed to meet this need by stressing the physical or observable aspects of the theory through an extensive use of the electronic charge density.
