ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY(2)

Chemistry is the central science that can be related to all other fields of science and technology. Chemists are driven to understand the fundamental behavior of matter in terms of its properties and behavior. This lecture involves fundamental concepts of chemistry. This course is designed in a way to provide more interesting and more effective ways to learn chemistry. This course aims to present concepts in a clear and sensible manner using language, analogies and in molecular approach that students can relate to. In addition to the academic knowledge on various chemistry concepts, the course contents are also useful for the students to appear for license tests, jobs at industrial levels.

• By the end of this course students able to acquire knowledge on basic chemistry, and be able analyze and solve problems, understand relationships, and interpret scientific facts and data. • Learning chemistry allows students to learn about the scientific method and gain skills in critical thinking, deductive reasoning, problem-solving, and communication. • In particular, the Active Learning Questions, found at the end of each chapter, provide excellent material for collaborative work by students. In addition, we have connected chemistry to real-life experience at every opportunity, from chapter-opening discussions of chemical applications to “Chemistry in Focus” features throughout the course.

Students Should have more than 85% of the attendance. If a student comes late by 3 times, it is considered as one absent. The absence of the quiz exam cannot be reconsidered. However, in case of unavoidable circumstances (illness or injury), a separate evaluation shall be conducted.

Any students from the biology, science and engineering are welcome.

Chemistry plays an important and useful role in the development and growth of a number of industries. This includes industries like glass, cement, paper, textile, leather, dye etc. We also see huge applications of chemistry in industries like paints, pigments, petroleum, sugar, plastics, and Pharmaceuticals.
