Code：G2B50302 / Instructor：TATSUMI Hirosuke
Course Description
The lecture begins with fundamental chemistry, such as atoms and elements, and then moves to physical and chemical changes, solutions, and acids and bases. Students learn that macroscopic phenomena can be explained by the microscopic behaviors of atoms, molecules, and chemical bonds. Also, students learn fundamental knowledge about foods and cleaning agents in daily life. Futhermore, the course provides an outline of radioactivity, medicines, substances relating to electronics, resources, and environmental purification and discusses the relation between chemistry and society. A test or report will be given at the end of each class.
