Course description
This course is targeted at first graders of applied chemistry department.
In this course, you will first learn about basics of elementary "quantum mechanics", that is, "what is electrons" and the state of electrons in atoms and molecules. Next, you will learn how to predict properties and three-dimensional structures of small molecules by applying the quantum mechanical concepts. Finally you will learn how to predict the properties of complex molecules such as organic compounds and metal complexes. The concept of symmetry is also indispensable to understand the properties of molecules and crystals which are the solid-state assemblies of molecules. You will learn the basics of "group theory" which is the theory of symmetry. The contents learned in this course will become the foundation of chemistry which will be necessary to study specialized chemical subjects in the future.
In the first half of the lesson the subjects are related particularly to inorganic chemistry. In the second half the subjects are related mainly to organic chemistry. You will be able to deepen your knowledge you learned in "Inorganic Chemistry 1" and "Organic Chemistry 1" in the previous term by reviewing those from a different angle with new concepts.
Purpose of class
In this course, you will be requested first to aim at learning elementary "quantum mechanics". You will be requested next to aim at learning elementary "group theory", and applying these knowledge to predicting the properties of various molecules from simple molecules to complex molecules such as organic compounds and metal complexes. The aim of this course is to obtain a deeper understanding of chemistry by applying spotlight from slightly different angle to the contents of "Inorganic Chemistry 1" and "Organic Chemistry 1" you learned in the previous term.
The purpose of this course is to consolidate the foundation of all chemistry which will be necessary to study specialized chemical subjects in the future.
Goals and objectives
  1. Make it possible to predict the shape, size, and phase of molecular orbits of simple molecules. (Class plan 1, 2, 3)
  2. To be able to determine the symmetry of molecules by symmetrical operation. (Class plan 4, 6)
  3. To be able to predict the shape of a molecule and determine its polarity. (Class plan 5, 8)
  4. With the help of molecular orbital theory and the concept of electron delocalization it is possible to predict the strength of acids and bases, the reactivity of molecules, and the presence or absence of aromaticity in molecules. (Class plan 9, 10, 11, 12)
  5. To be able to explain the mechanism of typical organic reactions using frontier orbital theory. (Class plan 13)

Evaluation method and criteria
Take several quizzes in one semester. Each quiz will be evaluated on a 5-point scale, and the total will be converted to a maximum of 50 points. A total of 100 points, including 50 points for the quiz, 25 points for the mid-term exam, and 25 points for the final exam, and a total score of 60 points or more is passed.
The quiz, which is a confirmation of the content of each lesson, should be able to score 80% if you participate in the lesson properly.
If you master the content of each quiz and can solve it by yourself without referring to textbooks and notebooks, you should be able to score 80% in the mid-term and final exams.
