CH 102 Inorganic and Organic Chemistry 1-1-0-2
Objective:
Inorganic and Organic Chemistry: This course is designed in such a way that it brings out the essence of inorganic and organic chemistry. While the inorganic chemistry gives a molecular-level understanding of our surroundings by laying emphasis on elemental properties and gives a snapshot of inorganic chemistry in our daily life, the organic chemistry contents introduce the student to universal concepts associated with chemistry like stability and reactivity of molecules with an emphasis on implications at higher levels of molecular arrangements. These concepts are extremely useful for different fields of engineering.
