This subject contains a 4 day Compulsory Residential School.Provides a hands on approach to theory learned in the subject.
This subject is a continuation of the study of the fundamentals of chemistry commenced in Chemistry 1A. Topics include thermodynamics; kinetics; oxidation and reduction; an introduction to organic chemistry and organic functional group chemistry, with specific applications.
This subject expects students will have successfully completed the prerequisite subject CHM104.
* Offering has a residential school. Please view following information for further details.
