Handbook

CHEM1041 covers a range of fundamental concepts that can be used to explain phenomena in chemistry, biology, medicine and material sciences. Students who have completed Chemistry 1A previously will build on their skills to explore topics such as kinetics, structure determination, stereochemistry, transition metal chemistry, and the study of organic chemical reactions and mechanisms. The course concludes with a capstone exploration of molecular machines, which encompasses all topics explored in Chemistry 1A and Chemistry 1B.

CHEM1041 shares the same syllabus as CHEM1021, however some topics are covered in greater detail or depth in CHEM1041 to provide a more comprehensive foundation for further study in chemistry.

Students will engage with weekly digital lessons that introduce content that is then extended in live lectures, problem solving workshops and tutorials. The weekly laboratory class gives students hands on experience while placing course theory into context.
