Aims

To provide students with an understanding of the core concepts of chemistry. This will include physical, inorganic and organic chemistry, with an overview of contemporary science.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Explain atomic structure and interactions between molecules.
2.
Solve quantitative problems (stoichiometric) involving chemical formulas and equations.
3.
Present chemical data in a clear manner.

Module Content
