Introduction
This unit (along with Chemistry 1A) is the required prerequisite for students intending to major in Chemistry and for those intending to proceed to any second-year chemistry unit.
The unit builds on the introduction to chemistry given in year 12 and provides a foundation to four of the sub-disciplines of chemistry: analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. Emphasis is placed on:
- The development of an understanding of the underlying concepts in chemistry, so that generalisations regarding the physical and chemical properties of substances can be made.
- The development of problem solving ability.
- The expansion of the skills necessary to carry out experiments safely and efficiently in the laboratory.
