The course objective is to provide a solid foundation in the core principles of chemical science. Beginning with atoms and the periodic table, it explores electronic structure, chemical bonding, and molecular geometry, linking atomic properties to behavior. Students will study reaction stoichiometry, kinetics, energy changes, and gas behavior, along with intermolecular forces affecting liquids and solids. The course covers solutions, acid-base concepts, equilibria, entropy, free energy, and nuclear energy, concluding with an introduction to organic chemistry. This foundation prepares students for advanced studies in chemistry and related fields.
