Course objectives
This course provides an introduction to general and inorganic chemistry, including atomic and bond theories, energetics of chemical reactions, acid-base and oxidation-reduction reactions, and an overview of structure and properties of selected elements and their compounds.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students should be able to: explain basic chemical principles; interpret electronic structure of atoms and chemical bonding theories; describe chemical reactions along with energy changes; discuss the states of matter and phase transitions. They should also be able to describe the elements and their common compounds.
