Course description: General Chemistry (CHE 2101) is a foundational course that introduces
students to the fundamental principles of chemistry. It covers topics such as the properties and
transformations of matter, atomic and molecular structures, periodic table trends, chemical
bonding, stoichiometry, gas laws, and thermochemistry. The course provides students with a strong
theoretical and practical understanding of chemistry, preparing them for advanced studies in
science and engineering.
Course objectives: By the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Understand fundamental chemical concepts, including atomic and molecular structures, the periodic table, and chemical bonding.
- Apply the principles of stoichiometry and gas laws to solve chemical problems.
- Analyze the relationships between chemical reactions, energy changes, and thermodynamics.
- Utilize problem-solving techniques to predict the outcomes of chemical reactions.
- Develop laboratory skills related to basic chemical experiments and safety protocols.
