Objective

Upon completion of this course the student should be able to:

A.P. Dr. Saifuddin Nomanbhay

Dr. Zaemah Jubri
Dr. Chai Mee Kin
Miss Elya Sufliza Marsom
Mrs. Nur Yasumira Bt. Abd. Azmi

1) To identify types of intermolecular forces in liquids and solids

2) To describe rate of reaction, the rate laws of reactions of different orders and
importance of catalysts.
3) To calculate problems on various equilibrium systems.
4) To explain nuclear reactions; radioactivity, fusion, fission.
5) To describe the properties of polymers.

Synopsis

The course is a continuation of CHEF 114. Topics emphasizing intermolecular forces in

liquids and solids, types of crystals, concentration units and also the colligative properties
of electrolyte and nonelectrolyte solutions. Chemical kinetics and the concept of
equilibrium as well as the calculation of pH of acid, base and buffer solution are important
topics to be covered in this course. Nuclear chemistry and polymer are also included.
