CHM1011 Chemistry 1

This unit has been designed such that some previous understanding of chemistry is beneficial, but the unit is underpinned by a support structure for those who are relatively new to the subject. On completion of this unit, you will have gained an understanding of the main chemical principles underpining chemical element, chemical reactivity and equilibria.  A number of important topics including atomic structure, bonding and reaction stoichiometry will be introduced to prepare you for a deeper exploration of chemistry. The concepts developed within the workshops and tutorials are complemented through a laboratory program where you will have the opportunity to use a variety of analytical techniques and design your own experiments to solve a range of chemical problems.
