The main thrust of this course is to assist students to develop an appreciation for the relationship between chemistry and our environment. It is also aimed at providing students with a strong background to those theories and chemical principles that are particularly relevant to chemistry and fundamental understanding of science. This course is designed to provide students with a general overview of the concepts and principles underlying chemical reactions, stoichiometry, bonding, molecular shapes and structures, gas theories, and forces within liquids and solids that are fundamental basis of chemistry.
