Unit Description

CHEM 120 is the second half of an introduction to chemical principles required for further study in chemistry, and numerous other scientific disciplines. It requires prior completion of CHEM 110 as a prerequisite, and builds upon the foundation laid down in that unit. It is a core unit in the BSc and BRurSc programs. CHEM 120 comprises further aspects of physical chemistry (thermodynamics, electrochemistry, kinetics), organic chemistry (reactions and properties of alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, amines and carboxylic acids, aromatic compounds, stereochemistry), and inorganic, coordination and environmental chemistry. Assessment is by assignments, practical exercises, online quizzes and an examination. CHEM 120A offers extra depth in material covered by CHEM 120, given as extra reading topics and increased depth of coverage. There is also a higher level of degree of difficulty in assessment tasks and extra workshop/tutorial sessions.
