CHEM1201

Chemistry Two is a one-semester chemistry course designed to cover the needs of a wide variety of students by offering a broad introduction to a range of chemical concepts. The course serves not only as a sound foundation in chemistry, but also as a useful and necessary background for those whose main interests lie in engineering, the earth, or biological sciences. Where possible, chemical principles are illustrated by applications to biological or geological systems; the emphasis, however, is distinctly on developing a knowledge and understanding of a basic set of chemical concepts and facts. The course will serve, in part, to reinforce and build on many of the concepts introduced in Chemistry One. Topics to be encountered include biologically active compounds, drugs and synthesis; the chemistry of metals; kinetics; and states of matter and solutions.

Chemistry Two assumes students have completed Year 11 and 12 Chemistry if you have not completed Year 11 and 12 Chemistry then it is recommended that you complete the Bridging Course prior to commencement.
