Course description
Every industrial product needs a material to make it tangible, and it is "chemistry" that creates the substance that becomes the material. Each substance has its own characteristics, and it is necessary to make products by making the best use of these characteristics. Therefore, engineers need to understand the properties of the substances that make up industrial products. The root of the nature of matter is the atoms and the bondings between them.
In "Basic Chemistry", you will learn the electron configuration that is the source of atomic properties for elements up to the third period. Based on this, you will learn the properties of various molecules, ionic compounds, metals, etc. formed by bonding atoms. You will also learn about the chemical reactions that occur due to the interaction between molecules and the properties of solutions.
In this class, we will start with a review of the basics of chemistry and proceed with the study with the aim of acquiring knowledge and ideas of chemistry at the university liberal arts level.
Purpose of class
This class aims to acquire general knowledge of liberal arts chemistry as well as knowledge as the basis of education in specialized departments, and provides standard-level education in basic chemistry at industrial universities. The class covers elemental properties, chemical bonds and substances, molar concepts and chemical reactions, state of matter, acid-base, redox, thermodynamics, and material chemistry.

The following five goals are set.
1. For the elements up to the 3rd period, the electron configuration can be shown and the chemical properties can be predicted.
2. The properties can be predicted from the structure of the compound.
3. Understand the concept of amount of substance (mol) and be able to calculate changes in the amount of substance due to chemical reactions. In addition, when handling quantities, it is possible to perform calculations that take significant figures into consideration.
4. Chemical equilibrium such as acid dissociation equilibrium can be calculated using the equilibrium constant. In addition, the redox reaction and the battery can be explained based on the standard electrode potential.
5. Be able to explain familiar substances in chemical terms.
