The aim of this course is to prepare the student for other advanced chemistry, material
science, industrial, environmental, and electronics courses. Hence they will be able to follow
subjects related to the chemistry of elements, liquid and solid state and spectroscopy. To
accomplish this, the subjects given below will be covered.
For many of you, the first course in chemistry will be a new experience-perhaps a
difficult one. There appear to be two main sources of this difficulty. (a) The insufficiency of
the students in English language, or (b) their study habits and/or the way they analyze a
problem and proceed to its solution. To help you to get rid of these difficulties home works
will be given, which will consist of vocabulary and problem solving. The following
suggestions, taken seriously from the very beginning, may be of great help to you. For most

people, improved study habits and problem solving come only with practice and with a
determined effort spread over a long time. But it is worth it, not only in this course but also
for all your university activities.
