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.
Understand atomic structure, chemical bonding, and their impact on substance properties.
2.
Demonstrate understanding of the basics of chemical stoichiometry and principles of quantitative problem-solving in chemistry.
3.
Acquire a comprehensive overview of organic chemistry and chemical kinetics, encompassing fundamental concepts and processes.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Atomic structure and bonding – elements, atoms, electrons, bonding (covalent, coordinate, polar, ionic), shapes of molecules, periodicity. Numbers – moles and molarity, molecular mass, units, dilutions, percent composition. Introduction to organic chemistry – carbon, nomenclature, stereochemistry, basic functional group chemistry and Isomerism - optical, geometric. Kinetics – rate equations, reaction mechanisms, rate limiting step, activation energy, equilibrium, free energy.
