About the course
Aim
The course is an introduction to chemistry studies and aims to provide basic knowledge in general and organic chemistry. After completing the course, the student should be able to:
• perform stoichiometric calculations.
• describe how atoms and molecules are structured and name elements and common inorganic/organic compounds.
• explain the concepts of chemical equilibrium, chemical thermodynamics and reaction rate and their applications.
• be able to analyze laboratory data and write laboratory reports.
Content
The electronic structures of atoms and molecules. Stoichiometry. Chemical kinetics and equilibria with emphasis on acid-base equilibria. Chemical bonding. The three laws of thermodynamics and the concepts enthalpy, entropy, and free energy. The functional groups of organic chemistry, nomenclature, properties, conformation and stereochemistry. Substitution, elimination and addition reactions in organic chemistry.
