Chemistry is the study of the world around you. In particular, the microscopic world of atoms, ions and molecules.
• Thermochemistry
• Oxidation reduction processes
• Atomic, molecular and ionic properties
• Organic compounds
• Aqueous solutions, acids and solubility
• Spectroscopy
Chemistry - University or NZ Scholarship
PrerequisitesIf you did not take a pathway course at Level 2, or achieved fewer than 13 credits externally in that course, you will need HOD approval.
This course is eligible for subject endorsement.
Course endorsement provides recognition for a student who has performed exceptionally well in an individual course.
