Aims
To provide student with a grounding in laboratory skills, fundamental physical and inorganic chemistry concepts, and an introduction to organic chemistry.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Use laboratory data to draw appropriate conclusions.
2.
Perform calculations using parameters that measure properties of matter.
3.
Describe sub-atomic structure and apply atomic theory to interpret properties of matter.
4.
Relate reaction rates and physicochemical changes to fundamental scientific laws.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Accuracy, precision and equipment errors in scientific measurement.
Atomic theory, including electron sublevels and radioactivity.
Molecular bonding and intermolecular bonding.
The periodic table and an overview of trends. Moles, mass, molarity and the gas laws.
Relative atomic mass and its determination using a simple mass spectrometer.
Structure and properties of gases, liquids and solids.
