Course Description
This program offers some kind of introduction to the chemistry of natural, inorganic, and additionally organic molecules. The focus is in basic concepts of atomic as well as molecular electronic construction, thermodynamics, acid-base and also redox equilibria, chemical kinetics, and additionally catalysis.
In an effort to illuminate connections between chemistry as well as biology, a list of the biology-, medicine-, and also Bei research-related varieties used in 5.111 is offered in Biology-Related Examples.
