The following subjects will be studied during the course.
(1) Basic properties of natural substances.
(2) Atomic structure and various chemical bonds.
(3) Properties of gases, liquids and solids, and phase changes.
Chemistry is one of the fundamental subjects for students who study in the Department of Biosciences. This course provides an opportunity to learn the basic properties of substances and their reactions. Fundamental knowledge of chemistry will be provided in class to help to understand the related classes in subsequent years and to learn basic knowledge required to understand life sciences.
Reports and occasional test (20％) results are considered with final examination results (80%).
