It provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of physical and inorganic chemistry.
it is an alright module if you like chem
Would not recommend if not a core, there are much better chem modules to take.
The exams are basically the same each year so revising them is the best of getting on well in the exam !
Avoid it if possible because it doesn't have a lot to do with biology
