Course description |
In the basic chemistry, students will learn the foundation for studying biotechnology, based on the chemistry learned in high school. As a universal education subject, this lecture focuses on the concept of chemical bonds, the structure of atoms, atomic orbitals, and molecular orbitals, and the concept of unifying the molecular structure, three-dimensional structure, physical properties, and reactivity of various molecules. Students will learn about the concept of atomic orbitals and molecular orbitals, the mechanism of chemical bonds formation, their correlation with physical properties, and their reactivity based on the textbooks. In each class, exercises will be conducted to help understanding the class. The exercises at the end of the chapter should be useful for own review. The technical terms will be present in both Japanese and English. |
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. |

Assessment/Grading |
The final grade will be scored on three components that are weighted as follows: 20% in-class exercise, 80% mid term and final exam. |
Message from instructor(s) |
Life is constituted of chemicals. Life phenomena can be understood by chemical reactions. Chemistry is a fundamental subject in studying biotechnology. The students are assumed to have knowledge of high school chemistry. The students are supposed to review by themselves after each class, and the end-of-chapter problems should help to understand. Learning the concept of "chemistry", students will be able to enjoy and notice the beautiful life phenomena. Please do your best. |
