Foundations of Chemistry: General, Organic, and Nuclear Principles

Chemistry is the central science that connects physics, biology, and engineering, yet mastering its core concepts can often feel overwhelming. This course simplifies complex chemical principles, making general, organic, and nuclear chemistry accessible and intuitive. By studying these fundamental topics, you will develop the analytical mindset needed for academic success and practical scientific careers. You will transition from memorizing formulas to truly understanding the behavior of matter, chemical equilibrium, and molecular structures. What you'll learn: Understand the foundational principles of chemical bonding, atomic structure, and periodic trends; Analyze chemical equilibrium, reaction rates, and the behavior of acids and bases; Identify organic molecules, functional groups, and basic chemical reactions involving carbon; Explore nuclear chemistry, including radioactive decay, fission, fusion, and safety protocols; Apply green chemistry principles to evaluate the environmental impact of chemical processes; Solve practical stoichiometry and balancing problems through guided written exercises. The course begins with essential terminology and atomic theory before advancing to chemical reactions, organic structures, and nuclear phenomena. You will progress through structured written explanations and practice problems designed to reinforce your understanding. This course is designed for high school students, introductory college learners, and anyone seeking a clear, beginner-friendly introduction to chemistry with no prior prerequisites.
