Course Description

Chemistry 1 (this course) and Chemistry 2 (held in the second semester) aim to allow students of the Faculty of Science and Technology to acquire a basic knowledge of chemistry and the ability to think in terms of chemistry, which are necessary for studying specialized subjects and conducting graduation research. In Chemistry 1, the structure of matter (<1> the constituent particles of matter and the amount of matter, <2> electron configurations and the periodic table, <3> chemical bonding), states of matter (<4> changes in states of matter, <5> the properties of gases, <6> solutions), and changes in matter (<7> chemical reactions and heat) are studied. In Chemistry 2, the remaining sections of changes in matter (reaction rates and chemical equilibrium, acids and bases and their reactions, oxidation and reduction reactions, batteries and electrolysis) and inorganic compounds (the properties of non-metallic elements, the properties of metallic elements) are studied.

Requirements(Assignments)

Before class: Read in advance the scope of the next lecture in the designated textbook, and sort out the points that you do not understand or have issues with before attending the class. (1 hour)
After class: Revise your answers to the quiz held during the previous class, and then make sure you can completely answer the quiz without looking at the answers. (2 hours)


Note

Prepare the special notes for this class and a scientific calculator (required when doing the quizzes).
