This is a level 1 module for medicine students which introduces them to General and Physical Chemistry. It focuses on simple atomic theory, electromagnetic radiation and energy, ionic and covalent bonding, periodicity, the mole concept and stoichiometry, chemical equations, and classification of matter and forces. A physical chemistry section will introduce properties and laws for different states of matter and their transformations, chemical reactivity, catalysis and energetics, and the concept of equilibrium. These conceptsare apllied to electrolytes, pH and pKa, acids/bases, salts, buffers, and related concepts. The examples and applications used in the course to describe concepts and show them in action will be of direct relevance to medical students.
