Electronegativity has been one of the most important concepts in chemistry. It plays a critical role in fundamental chemistry courses. This paper proposed a view of three periods on the development of electronegativity. The process of deepening and gradually developing in understanding of electronegativity scale is briefly described. On the basis of a brief description of different electronegativity scales, the difference between absolute electronegativity scale, Pauling type electronegativity scale, Allen electronegativity scale and its modified Rahm electronegativity scale were discussed emphatically. The re-discussion is undoubtedly helpful for the in-depth understanding about the concept of electronegativity and the reform of teaching contents in fundamental studies.

: A statistical software package is developed for the course of chemical analysis. The software calculates cumulative distribution functions and inverse cumulative distribution functions of normal, t , (cid:2031) (cid:2870) , and F distributions; it also provides critical values for tests of statistical significance. The software is designed to substitute for traditional data tables that are insufficient and obscure. Statistical problems can be solved more efficiently with the software than with traditional data tables, which enables students to focus on understanding statistical principles and interpreting results. The software provides information through an intuitive interface, a graph, and natural interactions. Both Matlab and Android versions are presented, and free of charge.

: The teaching quality improvement reform is carried out in this paper, in view of the problems existing in the teaching of the core courses of organic chemistry. Through refining the teaching implementation plan, the students are guided to preview actively before class. Through the segmented class teaching, students participate more efficiently in the class. Through the multi-level practice after class, the students’ comprehensive ability is improved. By improving the challenge of the course test, students are guided to focus on the development of thinking skills and comprehensive capability. After a school year’s teaching reform practice, the learning initiative, thinking ability and comprehensive ability of students have been significantly improved. This lays a solid foundation for the cultivation of innovative talents with knowledge, ability and comprehensive thinking.

“Physical chemistry experiments” is one of the most important undergraduate chemistry experiment courses in many universities. Comprehensive as they are, these courses suffer from a drawback of lacking an experiment that connects the knowledge between different chapters and to the frontier research of the chemical society. Inspired by a published work of Prof. Dongsheng Guo’s group concerning the detection and imaging of cholinesterase using a sequentially activated diacetylene probe, we designed a physical chemistry experiment of “The photopolymerization, thermochromism and application of diacetylene vesicle”. We focused on the preparation of diacetylene vesicle, the photopolymerization of diacetylene, the thermochromism of polydiacetylene, and further explored the experiment’s potential application on the anti-forgery technology. We hope that by performing this experiment, students can have deeper understanding of different fields of physical chemistry, such as colloid, photochemistry, thermodynamics, dynamics etc., and can know more about current chemistry research on selfassembly, photopolymerization, chromogenic materials, anti-forgery, etc.

: The preparation of benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid from benzaldehyde by Cannizarro reaction was the common content of organic chemistry laboratory teaching. Nevertheless, due to its time consuming, low yield and inefficient isolating method, this experimental design was far from satisfactory in teaching. The following improvements have been made: Microwave radiation method was introduced, and the synthesis conditions was optimized by orthogonal test design. Under optimized conditions which was 50% KOH, microwave radiation at 500 W for 15 min, the reaction was completed. The yield of benzyl alcohol could reach 82.0%. Benzyl alcohol was isolated by column chromatography instead of distillation, to avoid the formation of distillation by-products. The yield of benzyl alcohol in crude products was determined quickly and accurately by spectrophotometry without separation. The comparison showed that the improved method could reduce the time by 99% and increase the yield by 15%. In addition, the extraction agent was more safe. The improvement was more responsive to the increasing requirements of laboratory training development.

Single-atom catalysis is a novel concept proposed by Chinese chemists recently, which has become a trending topic in the research of heterogeneous catalysis. Monatomic gas is an important knowledge point in high school chemistry education. Considering the similarity in Chinese language between “single-atom catalysis” and “monatomic gas”, and their very different meaning, this terminology is worth discussing.
