10 Learning outcomes At the end of the syllabus, the student will be able:
1. To apply theories and principles in solving questions related to Components
of Matter, Electronic Structure, Chemical Bonding, Reaction Kinetics,
Chemical Equilibrium, Ionic Equilibrium, Electrochemistry and
Thermochemistry.
2. To communicate the principles, objectives, methods, results, discussion,
conclusion and references of Physical and Inorganic Chemistry experiments
conducted via written laboratory reports.
3. To communicate points, ideas or views on contemporary topics in chemistry
via short responsive questions.
11 Transferable Skills: Chemistry is an active evolving science that has vital importance to our world, in both

12 Teaching-learning Teaching Learning Methods
and assessment Initial teaching and learning methods include lectures, group discussion and lab
strategy experiments were done to ensure that the conceptual and practical components of the
syllabus are achieved. Tutorial questions are set in a way that independent learning
could be promoted. This will expose and enable students to develop their decision-
making and problem solving skills.
Assessment Strategy
Quiz, Midterm, Assignment, Lab report and final examination are given to gauge their
understanding of basic concept and applications of chemistry. Questions are
formulated in a way that students could apply theory and concepts learnt to solve
problems occur in daily life as well as having a strong understanding on any
phenomenon happened has the reason behind.
13 Synopsis Students will be introduced to the fundamental concept of visualizing the atomic
structure, relative mass, the mole, electronic configuration, chemical bonding, structure
and bonding, shape of molecules, thermochemistry, electrochemistry, chemical
equilibra, reaction kinetics and periodic table.
Problems and exercises will be done in most chapters to access logical thinking in
solving problems. For practice and reinforcement, similar follow-up problems will be
provided at the end of each chapter. Besides, this course requires students to give
presentations, participate in discussions by comparing and proposing
information/ideas/observation of the outcomes from theory or experiments while
incorporating effective use of ICT and improve communication skills.
An understanding of all the chapters will hence influence their attitude towards some
of the extraordinary phenomena that happen around us and the explanation behind
these phenomena, for example the melting glaciers, global warming and global food
supplies.
