This course is designed to meet the general chemistry requirements for students wishing to receive an engineering degree in 4 years and also is a survey of important chemical elements and their compounds that will be useful for engineers. The fundamental principles of chemistry have been introduced. Main topics of interest are as : Matter - Its Properties and Measurement, Thermochemistry, Electrons in Atoms, The Periodic Table and Some Atomic Properties, Chemical Bonding: Basic Concepts and Additional Aspects, Liquids, Solids, and Intermolecular Forces, Spontaneous Change-Entropy and Free Energy, Main-Group Elements of Metals, Nonmetals, The Transition Elements and Nuclear Chemistry. The course moves at a moderate pace and emphasizes those topics which are essential as preparation for further work in materials science for engineers. The laboratory work emphasizes physical and chemical measurements, qualitative and quantitative analysis and encourages hands on working.
