全学自由研究ゼミナール(PEAK)(Introductory Chemistry)
An introduction to the key physical principles underpinning the whole of modern chemistry, focusing on key ideas from quantum mechanics, molecular statistics and thermodynamics.
This course aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the key ideas in Physical Chemistry with a focus on Quantum Mechanics and Thermodynamics.
By the end of the course, students should be able to
1) Explain the key principles of quantum mechanics.
2) Rationalize the structure of atoms based on quantum mechanics.
3) Explain why the periodic table has the form that it has.
4) Describe the models of chemical bonding and use these models to predict the shapes and stabilities of molecules.
5) Understand the structure of gases including the effects of intermolecular forces.
6) Make calculations based on the kinetic theory of gases
7) Understand the relationship between the properties of individual molecules and of bulk samples.
8) Appreciate the significance of the Boltzmann distribution
9) Understanding key ideas in thermodynamic including work, heat, enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy.
10) Applying the basic concepts of thermodynamics to chemical equilibria

授業の方法
This course is delivered as a 'flipped classroom' where students watch the lectures before class and work together in teams during the class periods to solve guided problems in class, receiving support and feeback from the course instructor and their peers.
成績評価方法
The course is evaluated based on in class participation and a final examination. The class participation is assessed in terms of the work done on the classrooms problems as a team as well as the performance in live quizzes. Timely completion and submission of the weekly worksheets is an important part of the assessment, so be advised to focus your attention on these from the outset.
履修上の注意
This course is a foundation course for PEAK Environmental Science students and will be conducted entirely in English. All materials including video lectures, interactive quizzes and tutorials will be provided on UTOL. Students taking the course will do so with different backgrounds in chemistry, so resources are provided for self-study for students with limited experience in studying chemistry and / or physics at high school.
