General Chemistry - CBMS102
Chemistry is the basis for the development of new medicines, new materials, new ways of monitoring and improving our environment through green technologies, and many other rapidly advancing fields. In this unit the principles of physical, inorganic and general chemistry will be presented. The structure of atoms, the properties of molecules and the role of energy in chemical change will be explored. The chemical and physical properties of solids, liquids and gases, metals and solutions are discussed. Methods for understanding the rates of reaction and factors affecting equilibria positions are developed. An introduction to thermodynamics and electrochemistry is presented. The chemical principles explored in the unit are illustrated with real world, enhancing understanding and appreciation of the role of chemistry in everyday life. The unit also allows students to develop critical skills in solving quantitative problems that serve them well in later studies.
