COURSE DESCRIPTION: The course deals with the studies of different bond types and the laws governing these bonds. It also deals with the basic kinetics of rate limited reactions; spontaneity of a reaction and the nature/ properties of acid, base and buffers; structure of atoms and the periodic table, modern electronic theory of atoms; basic electrochemistry, radioactivity and redox potentials. COURSE JUSTIFICATION With the advancement of knowledge of chemistry, it is no longer sufficient to simply isolate and study the properties of a chemical compound but it has become important to correlate theoretical predication with experimental facts and to explain with precision why a compound behaves in a particular manner. This information is usually acquired by a thorough understanding and systematic interpretation of the basic
