Course description

The aim of this class is to introduce students with key concepts for understanding structures of compounds at atomic level, which will be an important foundation to study higher level courses at the Department of Bioengineering and Life Science. While reviewing high school-level chemistry, classes will introduce the key principles in chemistry, which involves atomic orbitals, valence bond theory, molecular orbital theory, molecular representations, acids and bases, stereochemistry. A particular emphasis is placed on learning the structures of organic compounds, so that it will serve as an introductory course for Bioorganic Chemistry courses. I will make lectures on atomic orbitals, valence bond theory, molecular orbital theory according to textbooks. Practice exercises at the end of the textbooks are useful for improving the understanding on the textbooks. To remember and understand technical terms are important for being a researcher who is active around the world.

Expected Learning

To understand atomic orbitals, valence bond theory, molecular orbital theory. To obtain an ability to discuss the relationships between the molecular structures and their physicochemical properties from the viewpoints of molecular orbital theory.
