1^st Science course in Physical Chemistry

This course covers the Physical Chemistry aspects of the 1^st Science Chemistry course.

Login to Blackboard and select CH101 for further announcements, information and details on practicals.

Recommended Textbook: Mahaffy et al. Chemistry: Human activity, chemical reactivity. International Edition (Nelson)

  NOTE: Whilst you should purchase the recommended tetbook if you are considering purchasing a textbook, access to associated web-resources is part of the laboratory and continuous assessment course, and is covered by your laboratory registration fee.

Course Material will be presented as Powerpoint Lectures linked to Web Resources. These resources, and more, are available on the dedicated Blackboard site for the 1st Chemistry course.

Please ensure that your Web Browser/PC has the appropriate plug-ins to link to and play the web-resources

You can print the slides of the presentations below as handouts with three per page to save on printing costs, and to provide you with space on the page to make notes
