Goals	Course Objectives As one of the fundamental sciences, chemistry has a wide range of applications. The main aim of the course is to provide students with the fundamental concepts, both theoretical and practical, while developing their skills in scientific analysis and problem solving. In addition, building a foundation of chemical knowledge aimed at solving problems in science and engineering is one of the main aims of the course.
Course Content	The structure of the atom and the properties of matter, nomenclature of compounds, formula writing, the periodic system and electron configuration of atoms, types of chemical bonds, fundamental laws of chemistry, atomic and molecular weight, the mole concept, formula and composition calculations, chemical and problem-solving methods, gas laws, an introduction to thermochemistry and thermodynamics, electrochemistry and corrosion, as well as acid-base theories.
