CY1101 MOLECULE

The course provides an introduction to modern chemistry with the focus on molecules that are used to build key fundamental understandings of inorganic, organic, biological and physical chemistry. You will understand the nature of chemical bonds in structures of compounds, reaction mechanisms, kinetics and thermodynamics, and basic spectroscopic methods used to monitor the progress of reactions. The course comprises basic laboratory skills, and virtual laboratory simulations, linked to the course syllabus to provide you with hands on application of the key concepts and principles learned during the duration of the course thus further enhancing their understanding. You will understand the role that chemistry plays in other sciences, such as physics, biology, or earth science, and apply chemistry knowledge to solve real life problem in science or engineering related problems.
