| Course Rationale | |
| The aim of Introductory Chemistry is to provide you with a foundation in Chemistry for your tertiary study. Chemistry is a language with structure and rules to follow just like the English language. Introductory Chemistry introduces the terms, concepts and rules in chemistry. These concepts have been related to everyday materials and events to place chemistry within the context of your own experiences. This course covers a range of chemical topics, such as matter, molecules, chemical reactions, acids and bases and organic chemistry, as well as introducing the mathematics used in science. | |
