Objectives of the Course

To provide the ability to comprehend and interpret the chemical properties of atomic, molecular and ionic substances, chemical reactions and chemical reaction mechanisms, and solution chemistry, as well as to apply them to the solution of chemical problems. To provide the ability to use the knowledge and skills gained in this course in upper-grade courses.

Course Content

Chemistry is a branch of science that studies matter, its properties and changes; it covers a wide range of topics from the structure of the atom to the periodic table, chemical bonds, gases, solutions, energy changes and organic compounds. Basic concepts such as concentration calculations, the concept of the mole, chemical reactions, bond types and quantum theory are reinforced with problem solving and experimental calculations. Throughout the semester, students learn both theoretical information and computational applications, grasping the basic building blocks of chemistry.
