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: Chemistry, The Central Science, 9^th or 10^th or 11^th Edition (Brown, LeMay & Bursten)

  NOTE: Whilst you should purchase the 10^th or 11^th Edition if you are considering purchasing a textbook and access the associated web-resources, the web-resource pages for the 9^th Edition do not require registration (or book purchase)

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
