Course outcomes: There is nothing more fundamental to chemistry than the chemical
bond. Chemical bonding is the language of logic for chemists. Chemical bonding enables
scientists to take the 100-plus elements of the periodic table and combine them in myriad
ways to form chemical compounds and materials. Periodic trends, arising from the
arrangement of the periodic table, provide chemists with an invaluable tool to quickly
predict an element's properties. These trends exist because of the similar atomic structure
of the elements within their respective group families or periods, and because of the
periodic nature of the elements. Reaction mechanism gives the fundamental knowledge of
carrying out an organic reaction in a step-by-step manner. This course will provide a
broad foundation in chemistry that stresses scientific reasoning and analytical problem
solving with a molecular perspective. Students will gain an understanding of;
✓ Molecular geometries, physical and chemical properties of the molecules.
✓ Current bonding models for simple inorganic and organic molecules in order to
predict structures and important bonding parameters.
✓ This course gives a broader theoretical picture in multiple stages in an overall
chemical reaction.
✓ It describes reactive intermediates, transition states and states of all the bonds broken
and formed.
✓ It enables to understand the reactants, catalyst, stereochemistry and major and minor
products of any organic reaction. It describes the types of reactions and the kinetic and
thermodynamic aspects one should know for carrying out any reaction and the ways
how the reaction mechanism can be determined. ∙
✓ The chapter stereochemistry gives the clear picture of two-dimensional and three-
dimensional structure of the molecules, and their role in reaction mechanism. The
course will also strengthen the knowledge of students regarding complete picture of
states of matter that includes gaseous, liquid, solid and colloidal states.

Course Title: Basics of Chemistry
Programme/Class: Year: First Semester: First/Second
Course Code: Course Title: Basics of Chemistry
Course outcomes: There is nothing more fundamental to chemistry than the atom and
combination of atoms to form molecules by chemical bond. Chemical bonding is the
language of logic for chemists. Chemical bonding enables scientists to take the 100-plus
elements of the periodic table and combine them in myriad ways to form chemical
compounds and materials. The kind of bond present in a molecule decides nature of
molecule (ionic or covalent) and its structure (geometry). The formation of molecules via
various chemical reactions involve energy. The course will provide basic understanding
on atomic structure, formation of compounds, chemical bonding, chemical changes and
energy change in the formation of a matter. Students will gain an understanding of;
✓ Molecular geometries, physical and chemical properties of the molecules.
✓ Current bonding models for simple inorganic molecules in order to predict structures
and important bonding parameters.
✓ This course gives a broader theoretical picture in multiple stages in an overall
chemical reaction.
