Introduction to Chemistry 1

Module code: CH0065

Chemistry is a broad discipline with many areas and specialities under its umbrella. That's why we've designed this first introductory module to encompass a broad range of subjects and topics within the central science. You'll look at the core theories and principles behind the study of chemistry at an undergraduate level, but also give you a taste of several areas, which may inform your choices later on as you move forward as a chemist.

Topics covered

• The nature of atoms and molecules
• The concepts of isotopes, moles and stoichiometry
• IUPAC rules and the names of simple organic molecules
• Drawing accurate representations of orbitals, inorganic and organic molecules, including chiral molecules
• Electromagnetic radiation
