Chemistry Fundamentals: Principles of Physical Science

Do you need a clear, systematic introduction to the chemical principles that govern the physical world? Understanding chemistry is the essential first step in fields ranging from materials science to environmental studies. By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently explain the fundamental nature of matter, interpret chemical formulas, predict basic reaction types, and apply core concepts like stoichiometry and thermodynamics to real-world scenarios. What you'll learn: * Understand the states of matter and the laws governing chemical change. * Analyze atomic structure, including electron configuration and periodic trends. * Master the principles of chemical bonding (ionic and covalent) and molecular geometry. * Apply stoichiometry to accurately calculate quantities in chemical reactions. * Learn basic concepts of chemical thermodynamics and reaction kinetics. * Examine foundational principles of acid-base chemistry and chemical equilibrium. * Practice interpreting chemical notation and balancing equations accurately. The course begins with defining key terminology and the structure of the atom, progressing logically through bonding, reaction types, and quantitative chemistry, concluding with energy and equilibrium. This course is strictly for beginners. No prior knowledge of chemistry or physical science is required—we start with the absolute basics.
