This course treats the developmental contents as first liberal chemistry under the general review of the high school chemistry.
To understand the many matirals in the society, the atomic and molecular structures, electron configurations, and the corresponding
chemical proerties should be learned. Based on the above contents, the important topics of the chemistry, e.g., the several
bonds and interactions, three states of substances (gas, liquid, and solid), acid and base, oxidation and reduction, and chemical
reactions, will be introduced to students. This course also includes the exercises of chemical calculations.
The main aims of this course are to review of basic high school chemistry and to obtaine new knowledge and understanding of
the important rules and functions of the atomic and molecular structures based on electron configurations. We will focus on
basic rules of chemical properties and chemical reactions for understanding the social contribution of chemistry.
- Understand the electron configurations and the corresponding chemical properties for elements, which are included in 1st ~ 3rd period.
- Be able to expect the fundamental properties from the structure of compounds.
- Understand the concept of the amount of substance (mole), and be able to calculate the change of the amount of materials under the chemical reaction, using the accurate significant figures.
- Understand and be able to calculate the pH exchange. Understand oxidation numbers and mechanism of batteries.
- Be able to explain familiar substances in chemical terms.

The simple exercises will be performed each time. Some homework will be given as needed.
Your final grade will be calculated according to the following process: Usual performance score with the exercises and homework (40%), Mid-term examination (25%), and Term-end examination (35%). To pass, the students must earn at least 60 points out of 100.
You will reach approximately 60% if you can solve the basic quizzes and the corresponding new examinations of the same level and will reach 80% or more to solve the related application examinations.
