Description including Unit Aims

This unit develops the introduction to physical chemistry given in CHEM 10600/700/800 to provide the essential base of physical chemistry required for advanced study at Levels 6 and 7 (Years 3 and 4). It covers the main areas of the subject e.g. molecular energy, thermodynamics, chemical energy, equilibria, states of matter, properties of solutions (including electrolytes) and interfaces. Workshops are integral to the unit.
