Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : differ an element from an atom, a compound from a mixture, name inorganic compounds and learn basic information about separation of mixtures, write the symbols for the elements, predict the anion or cation a main-group element is likely to form. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,81
LO - 2 : convert units from one to another, to write the measured numbers, to calculate the empirical formula of a compound from its mass percentage composition, calculate the concentration of a solution.1,2,51
LO - 3 : explain the structure of atom using different theories, write the electronic configuration of a many-electron atom, to predict and explain trends in atomic radius, ionic radius, ionization energy and electron affinity1,2,3,61
LO - 4 : identify solutions as electrolytes, or non-electrolytes to define oxidation and reduction in terms of oxidation number and electron transfer, to balance a chemical reaction, write the net ionic equation of a complete reaction.1,2,3,61
LO - 5 : explain the significance of the stoichiometric coefficients in a chemical equation, calculated the theoretical and percentage yields of the products of a reaction.1,2,3,6,71
LO - 6 : learn to distinguish between an ionic and covalent bond, to write Lewis structures of ionic and covalent compounds, to explain the characteristics of Lewis acids and bases and how they form bonds.2,3,5,6,71
LO - 7 : gain skills to explain why lone pairs are more likely to be found in certain locations around a central atom and how and why affect the bond angles in a molecule, define the electric dipole moment of a bond.1,2,3,5,6,7,81
LO - 8 : develop the skills to explain the origin of pressure in molecular term, to explain the gas laws, to describe the effect of molar mass and temperature on the distribution of molecular speed.2,3,6,7,81
LO - 9 : gain the skills to explain how the enthalpy of vaporization and the boiling point of a compound are related to the strength of its intermolecular forces, to explain how London forces arise and how they vary with the polarizability of an atom.2,3,6,7,81
LO - 10 : learn functional groups in organic compounds and recognize and name the classes of organic compounds; write basic organic reaction types; learn the concept of isomerism in organic compounds and easily name these isomers
