Goals To give information about aspects of the basic concepts, laws and aplications of chemistry in a systematic and comprehensive way, to develop thinking and problem solving skills in chemistry, to determine the relationship between chemistry and other sciences and to show characteristics of chemistry area in overall structure of the civilization system.
Course Content Introduction of Chemistry and the relation with the other natural sciences, Chemistry and measurements, Matter: Calculations with chemical formulas and equations, Atomic theory, Atomic and molecular structure, Chemical bonds, Periodic table, Structure of the Nucleus, The Gaseous state
Learning Outcomes 1) The student uses the conversion factors to demonstrate numerical results together with the right units.
2) The student describes uncertainty in the tradition of representation while reporting uncertainity in the measurements and data.
3) The student establishes a relationship between the names and formulas of chemical compounds.
4) The student offsets chemical reactions and performs calculations on chemical reactions.
5) The student associates with the historical development of the concept of the atom by taking into account physical / chemical event seperation in this development process.
6) The student interprets the meaning of the concept of atomic radius, ionization energies, electron affinity, and electronegativity, their experimental determinations and periodic variation trends.
7) The student establishes relationships between the location of the periodic table of elements and atomic numbers and the physical / chemical properties of the elements.
8) The student explains the structure of the atomic nucleus using elementary particles; examines the stability of the nucleus, correlates with the stability and natural radioactivity.
9) The student evaluates the importance of radioactivity and nuclear reactions in terms of technology and health care.
10) The student compares the types of chemical bondings, discusses topology of molecules using theories of covalent bonding.
11) The student derives from the ideal gas laws by correlating the properties of gases with temperature, pressure, and volume parameters.
