Course Description
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to fundamental chemistry principles, preparing students for further studies in chemistry and related fields. It covers core topics such as properties of matter, atomic theory, nomenclature, and chemical bonding. The curriculum also delves into chemical reactions and stoichiometry, thermochemistry, and gas and solution chemistry. The course is structured to develop intellectual and laboratory skills through a variety of instructional methods, including traditional lectures, class discussions, and hands-on laboratory work. A key focus is on helping students connect the three “languages” of chemistry—the nanoscopic, macroscopic, and mathematical—to enhance their problem-solving skills and logical thinking. The overall goal is to equip students with a robust foundation in chemical principles and the ability to apply them to new situations.
