General chemistry
Fundamental chemical processes related to applications in nano science and technology are described and explained.
The course comprises
The student works actively with problem solving during the course in order to reach the learning outcomes described above. Skills and abilities in the professional use of scientific and chemical therminology are promoted by the use of standard English literature.
Organic chemistry
The course covers the structure, reactivity, properties, and use of organic compounds on a basic level. Fundamental concepts like nomenclature, chirality and molecular isomerism are covered. The emphasis of the course lies on fundamental understanding of reactivity and the chemical bond. Reactons covered in the course includes addition, substitution, and elimination reactions, electrophilic aromatic substitution, enolate chemistry, and addition to, and substitution on, the carbonyl carbon. The structure and properties of important bio-molecules like sugars proteins and RNA/DNA are covered as well as simple experimental methods and safety evaltuations associated with laboratory work.
Grading scale: TH - (U, 3, 4, 5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: Written exams, laboratory experiments, and written reports are mandatory. The final grade is based on a merger of the results on written exams.
The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
