Molecules and compounds
Chemical Reactions and Quantities
Introduction to Solutions and Aqueous Reactions
Intermolecular Forces
Reaction kinetics
Electrochemistry and Corrosion

The classroom calculation exercises will cover the
same topics as the lectures. There will be no lab
exercises due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

Recommended or required reading

Lecture material provided in itslearning.
Much of this course is based upon three
textbooks Tro's "Chemistry: Structure and
properties" (Pearson), Shackelford's
"Introduction to materials science and
engineering" (Pearson) and Callister's
"Materials science and engineering" (Wiley).
