Course Description
This course is design to introduce and discuss a short history of chemistry, from the beginning
until the modern of chemistry. In this course, you will learn about the beginning of applied
chemical processes. You will also learn about the combustion and the discovery of gases, atomic
theory, electrochemistry, etc.
