Handbook

This subject will provide foundational knowledge and skills in chemistry as scaffolding for further studies in many fields relevant to animal, dental and veterinary sciences including, but not limited to, biochemistry and physiology. Current theories of the nature of atoms, molecules and bonding, to explain the behaviour of bulk matter, will be investigated. Topics include thermodynamics; kinetics; gases; an introduction to organic chemistry and organic functional group chemistry, with specific applications. A practical component will enhance understanding of theoretical concepts as well as develop problem solving abilities.
