Credit points: 12.5
Coordinator: Dr V McRae
Prerequisite: Knowledge of VCE Chemistry is desirable.
Contact: 39 lectures (3 per week), Six 3-hour sessions practical work, 12 hours tutorials, 18 hours problem solving/computer-aided learning
Timetable: First semester
Content:
The composition of matter; chemical reactions and stoichiometry; atomic structure; periodic properties; terrestrial forms of the elements; molecules: shapes and bonding; structure and bonding of organic molecules (the biosphere); energy; gases (the atmosphere); structure and bonding of inorganic molecules (the geosphere).
Assessment:
A 3-hour written examination at the end of Semester 1. Practical work and workshops are continuously assessed and together represent 20 per cent of the final assessment. Practical and workshop assignments must be completed satisfactorily before credit can be granted for the subject.
