This subject builds on the content of CH1001 to provide broad exposure of students
to the major principles and reactions of relevance to inorganic, organic and physical
chemistry. A major emphasis will continue to be the applicability of chemistry in
the wider scientific context, particularly in the biological biomedical, earth and
environmental sciences. The organic chemistry section will introduce general features
of organic reactions, will discuss selected reaction mechanisms, will provide experimental
and instrumental techniques for structure determination and will cover the stereochemistry
of hydrocarbons. The physical chemistry section will discuss principles of chemical
kinetics, will introduce redox and electrochemistry, will describe intramolecular
forces and will cover gas laws. The inorganic chemistry section will introduce atomic
structure, will discuss bonding and periodicity, will cover chemistry in nature and
industry including metallurgy, chemical manufacturing and cycling of elements through
the environment. It will also present systematic chemistry of selected groups of the
Periodic Table and aspects of the chemistry of the transition metals including their
role in biological systems.
Learning Outcomes
- describe the major principles and reactions of relevance to inorganic, organic and
physical chemistry;
- explain such chemical principles and reactions in a wider scientific context;
- apply a range of common laboratory techniques in chemistry.
