: This paper provides a practical explanation of the comparison between nucleophilicity and basicity of nucleophiles. The similarities are explained based on the principle of “structure determines property”, and the differences are explained by combining Hard-Soft-Acid-Base theory and the steric hindrance factor.

: After first established in 1835, the definition of catalyst has undergone several progresses. In 1996, IUPAC Nomenclature Committee proposed a new definition of catalyst. But till now this new definition has not been adopted extensively. In this paper, the fundamental characteristics of catalyst are listed and discussed with the essential features being clarified. Based on these discussion, a new definition of catalyst is suggested. The concept of negative catalyst is analyzed based on the essential features of catalyst. It is suggested to replace negative catalyst by inhibitor. It is meaningful for us to get a better understanding of catalyst and correct misunderstandings in the present physical chemistry textbooks.

: As a required course for the environmental engineering major, environmental chemistry has overlapped teaching content with the four major basic chemistry courses (inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry and analytical chemistry). In order to improve classroom teaching efficiency and students’ learning enthusiasm, our teaching team summarizes and analyzes the similar knowledge between environmental chemistry and the four basic chemistry courses, and then updates and optimizes the teaching content. Meanwhile, with assorted teaching methods including questioning, comparing and discussion, we guide students to explore “new knowledge” from “known knowledge” to deepen knowledge layer by layer. Furthermore, the “rain classroom” teaching mode is applied to help the teaching connection, which can improve the teaching effect.

: Chemistry is a central science. However, the public’s recognition of chemistry needs to be promoted, and the prejudice needs to be reduced. Chemical science popularization is a long-term, complex and arduous social education project, which is of great significance to promote social harmony and improve people’s quality of life. This paper summarizes the current status of chemical science popularization in China, and puts forward the innovative development countermeasures which focus on improving public participation, training popular science talents, carrying out popular science popularization education at different levels, creating high-quality science popularization works and opening up new positions and approaches of chemical science popularization. This paper has the reference value for the science popularization colleagues.

In this paper, the different ideas about the concept of the oxidation number in domestic chemistry textbooks have been discussed. Based on this, we propose to use the term of specified charge number instead of formal charge number and apparent charge number to describe the oxidation number. Through the interpretation of the definition of the oxidation number, we draw some important inferences and finally introduce our explorations and attempts on the contents of the oxidation number in compiling the inorganic chemistry textbook, and suggest introducing the valence-shell electron number method to determine the oxidation number of elements in inorganic chemistry and general chemistry textbooks.

: Herein, we introduce a novel comprehensive chemical experiment called the synthesis and characterization of polyoxometalates (POMs)-based coordination polymer. Through the synthesis of POMs, organic ligand, POMs-based coordination polymer and corresponding characterization, the undergraduate students can learn about POMs-based coordination polymers, the frontier of inorganic synthetic chemistry. In the process of material synthesis and characterization, the ability of knowledge integration and the interest of chemistry learning have been improved. This experiment combines the knowledge of inorganic and organic chemistry as well as the training of experiments, instruments and data analysis capabilities, which can be used as a comprehensive chemical experiment for senior students.
