The aim of this course is to help students acquire a fundamental academic understanding of the principles of chemistry necessary
for further study in science and engineering.
This course introduces the fundamental concepts of general chemistry, including atomic and molecular structure, states of
matter, solutions, chemical reactions, and chemical equilibrium. Emphasis is placed on developing quantitative problem-solving
skills and a scientific understanding of chemical phenomena relevant to engineering applications.
The course continues in the Spring semester as "General Chemistry B". Successful completion of "General Chemistry A" is required before enrolling in "General Chemistry B".
Taking both courses is strongly recommended to obtain a comprehensive understanding of general chemistry and the chemistry of the elements.

- Students can use SI units, significant figures, unit conversions, and basic chemical calculations to describe and interpret measured physical and chemical quantities.
- Students can explain atomic and molecular structure, including atoms, molecules, ions, electron configuration, and periodic trends
- Students can describe and predict chemical bonding and properties of substances by using concepts of ionic and covalent bonding, molecular geometry, and chemical bonding theory.
- Students can apply concepts of states of matter, solutions, reaction rates, and chemical equilibrium to analyze how and why chemical reactions occur.
