Course objectives
At the end of this course, students should be able to: explain basic chemical principles; interpret electronic structure of atoms and chemical bonding theories; describe chemical reactions along with energy changes; discuss the states of matter and phase transitions. They should also be able to describe the elements and their common compounds.
