About the Book
General Chemistry 3e: OER for Inclusive Learning supports students in developing conceptual understanding and quantitative problem-solving skills across the core topics of a two-semester general chemistry course. The text combines clear explanations with scaffolded practice and interactive, formative H5P exercises that allow students to test their understanding, receive immediate feedback, and build confidence over time. Real-world applications, including sustainability and green chemistry, help connect chemical principles to contemporary scientific and societal contexts.

About the Contributors
Authors
Nicole C. Bouvier-Brown is a Co-Executive Director of the Coastal Research Institute, the Director of the undergraduate Environmental Science Program, and a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at LMU. Nicole received her B.S. degree in Chemistry/Biology (with an environmental emphasis) from St. Mary's College of California and her Ph.D. in Environmental Science, Policy and Management from the University of California, Berkeley. Her research has mainly focused on developing methodology and measuring air pollution exacerbated by human activity. She and her students have looked at the unequal burden of air pollution experienced by low-income neighborhoods and quantified emissions of volatile organic compounds coming from artificial turf fields. Recently, Nicole has become more interested in effective undergraduate teaching of difficult scientific ideas. To that end, her research group is currently focused on motivating students by integrating social and environmental justice into chemistry course content and creating a more diverse and inclusive learning environment. Nicole enjoys teaching introductory chemistry, environmental chemistry, earth system science, and seminar courses. In her free time, she likes to spend time with her family, experience the awe and wonder of the natural world, or decompress with a puzzle.
Saori Shiraki is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department.
J. Ryan Hunt is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in the Frank R. Seaver College of Science and Engineering. His research focuses on novel ways to use light for catalytic and synthetic purposes, with a particular focus on photobase molecules.
Emily A. Jarvis is currently a Professor of Chemistry at Loyola Marymount University. Prior to joining LMU, she served as a chemistry professor at Gordon College in Wenham, MA, a research scientist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, MD, a visiting professor at Kenyon College in Gambier, OH, and a Science Policy Fellow in the United States Senate. Her research interests include first principles characterization of inorganic and organic molecules, solid-state and nanomaterials, and electronic excited states in small molecules with particular emphasis on atomic-level mechanisms of materials failure and chemical modifications designed to enhance materials performance for clean energy. She also has professional interests in wine chemistry, high performance computing and federal science policy.
