Course description and aims

[Summary of the lecture] This course gives sophomore students an opportunity to do exercise problems on physical chemistry, organic chemistry, and inorganic chemistry. Explanation on the problems and answers is also provided.
[Aim of the lecture] Physical chemistry, organic chemistry, and inorganic chemistry are essential in the field of applied chemistry. This course facilitates students' understanding of related courses in 1Q and 2Q of the sophomore year through basic exercise problems in these fundamental areas.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Solve standard problems on thermodynamics and chemical equilibrium.
2) Solve standard problems on quantum chemistry.
3) Solve standard problems on aliphatic hydrocarbons.
4) Solve standard problems on chemical bonding, structures, and inorganic reactions.

Keywords
