Abstract: One of the distinctive features of the core textbook General Chemistry in the Chemistry “101 Plan” is the integration of a series of teaching cases closely related to the content of each chapter. These cases not only serve as an important bridge connecting the abstract principles of the textbook with the actual cognition of students, but also as a key carrier for cultivating scientific thinking and literacy of students. This article discusses the positioning of teaching cases in the core curriculum textbook system, and explores the design and writing ideas of the cases through a brief introduction to Case 1.1 “From Qualitative to Quantitative: Taking Dipole Moment and Polarizability as Examples”, which is to be included in the next edition of the textbook, providing a reference for writing cases in textbooks.

Key words: Chemistry “101 plan”, General Chemistry, Teaching cases
