This study examines scientific practices associated with scientific writing in organic chemistry in China. Although there is rapidly growing literature on the features and strategies of scientific writing, further research in this area is needed to recognize and treat scientific writing as a social endeavor to evaluate it in a more comprehensive and detailed way in order to effectively convey scientific information to readers. This study shared these important premises and attempted to investigate the development of Chinese undergraduate students’ competence of scientific writing. Twenty-two undergraduate students majoring in chemistry participated in this study. They experienced a researcher-intervenedAdvanced Organic Chemistry Experimentcourse and were asked to write scientific articles on the six course experiments. Their scientific writings were analyzed based on normativity, objectivity, and logicality. These dimensions of the development of students’ competence in scientific writing during the course were portrayed. This study suggested that student's development in scientific writing can be divided into categories, demonstrating the importance and implications of teaching “learn to write” in science.

For many years, an introduction to the chemistry of free radicals has formed an essential part of University chemistry curricula and the subject is of wide relevance to both industrial and biological chemistry, yet its development occurred, with surprising rapidity, less than fifty years ago. It is the aim of this article to give a personal recollection of the circumstances which led to the recognition and early development of this branch of chemistry. From the early days of the last century ‘radicals’ had been defined by chemists as ‘groups of atoms which together behave as a single atom’ and organic chemistry had been regarded as the chemistry of ‘compound radicals’. But with the proof that such simple elements as hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen exist as binary molecules (H 2 , O 2 , N 2 ) and not as atoms, the possible existence at room temperature, in gases or solutions, of free atoms or radicals was deemed to be unlikely by most chemists of a century ago.
