SED122: General Chemistry for integrated Science
Welcome to this chemistry course. We suppose that many of you are taking this course because you want to strengthen your-background in chemistry. Armed with this strong background in chemistry, you can then proceed to advanced programmes in chemistry. The training of biologists, geoscientists, medical doctors, nurses, soil scientists, food scientists, chemical engineers, petroleum engineers and many others requires that students in those areas have a good exposure in chemistry.
What Will You Learn?
This course is titled “General Chemistry for Integrated Science l" this present course, you will be presented information in chemistry in a structured way to make learning easier. All the units follow the same pattern and so after the first few units, the rest will become easy to follow.
Teacher Of Course
Includes
On completion of the course, you should be able to:
- Distinguish between chemistry and the other science subjects.
- Discuss the role of chemistry in our everyday living.
- Apply the language of chemistry in describing the world around you.
- Carry out simple chemical calculations.
We have packaged this chemistry course in such a way that you will learn chemistry using a technique peculiar to the open learning system. This technique has been adopted by the National Open University of Nigeria in most of the courses offered to students.
You will here learn the content of this chemistry course at a reasonable pace. You will need to master the language chemists use to describe the world around us. The language is simple, interesting and specific to the subject, chemistry. We wish you success with the course and hope that you will find it both interesting and useful.
