CHEMISTRY SPECIAL TOPICS (CHEM-204) BSIV Regular

Introduction

 

This course is introduced to fulfill the requirements of such topics which are not usually discussed in the basic courses of chemistry like physical, Inorganic and Organic chemistry. It includes the knowledge of biomolecules and hydro cyclic nitrogenous compounds which are the basic structural units of biomolecules.

Introduction to spectroscopy help in research work as an analytical technique. Surface chemistry and collides are also briefly discussed. Study of modern materials like liquid crystals, fiber glass and semi-conductors is very useful in the present electronic world.

This section also covers the industrial chemistry and nuclear chemistry which are basic requirement for the development and defense of the country.

Course Content

  • Biomolecules and Simple Heterocycles
  • Introduction to Spectroscopy
  • Surface Phenomena and Colloids
  • Nuclear Chemistry
