This course provides students with the basic principles and skills of physical, inorganic and organic chemistry. The course builds upon the material covered in Chemistry 1 (CHE1110).

This course addresses the important basic principles and concepts of physical, inorganic and organic chemistry. The course covers electrochemistry, coordination chemistry, reaction kinetics, organic functional groups, IUPAC naming, basic stereochemistry, and simple reactions. This course has a graded laboratory component. This course contains a highly recommended residential school for external students and highly recommended on-campus laboratories for on-campus students (non-attendance will mean the student misses both an element for assessment preparation and an element of assessment).

On completion of this course students will be able to:

1. apply the basic principles of redox reactions and electrochemistry;
2. describe the chemistry of metallo-organic molecules;
3. apply the basic principles of stereochemistry and chirality in organic chemistry;
4. demonstrate an understanding of the organisation of organic functional groups;
5. describe simple organic reactions and functional group interconversions;
6. utilize appropriate laboratory techniques in basic organic, inorganic and physical chemistry.
