Objectives of the Course	Teaching basic concepts of chemistry Explaining students the connection between life and the basic concepts of chemistry
Course Content	This is a follow up course of MBG 115 Chemistry for life sciences. This course will continue providing fundamental knowledge and principles of chemistry. It will cover multiple areas of chemistry; the basics of analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, organic chemistry and organometallic chemistry. During this course, the students are expected to understand the structure of atom, relation of atom structure to its chemical reactivity, energy of a chemical reactions, chemical equilibrium, chemical trends in periodic table and very basics of organic chemistry and biochemistry. Students will discover chemical processes, cycles and properties that are key to the study of life.
