Course Content
(For GEOE, METE, MINE, PETE and CHE students) A basic course emphasizing the metric system, introduction to stoichiometry, the structural and physical properties of matter, i.e., electronic structure of atoms, chemical binding, molecular geometry, hybridization and molecular orbital and the states of matter, i.e., gases, liquids and solids.
Course Learning Outcomes
Students can define what chemistry is and uses this concept in their daily life. Students realizes the difference between chemical and physical changes in laboratory by carrying out the experiments. Students solve thermochemical problems and apply them to chemical problems. Students can judge whether a chemical reaction goes forward or not by calculating the Gibbs free energy. Students understand the importance of entropy. Students can define the types of chemical bonds. Students can write what kind of bonds are formed by looking at the atomic properties. Students can state the properties of states of matter.
