This course
is a basic introduction to theoretical and practical chemistry with emphasis on
chemical compounds, and reactions. We then move on to the reactions of acids
and bases and their effects on the environment and on different materials.
Energy of matter will focus on the use of different building materials, and
explain the energy absorbed/released to heat/cool substances. Nuclear chemistry
will focus on natural radiation and radioactive isotopes, as well as the
fission and fusion reactions to generate energy.
