Liberal Arts Education
As pre-specialized education, which is organically linked to specialized education, Foundation Courses are aimed at providing students with the basic knowledge necessary to understand specialized studies in their chosen areas, and thereby providing them w 
Expected OutcomeTo understand, acquire, and be able to explain the logical structure and system of the basic disciplines in accordance with each subject and the knowledge and skills necessary for further academic development. 
Class Objectives
/Class Outline
All materials in living cells and its environment are composed of aggregate of atoms and/or molecules. Therefore, the objectives are to broaden and deepen the fundamental knowledge of the properties and chemical behavior of materials (atomic structure, electron configuration, chemical bond, three states of matter, chemical equilibrium, chemical reaction, etc.). 
Class Schedule lesson1:Guidance as to the class objectives and schedule
lesson2:Atomic structure (Bohr’ theory, electron orbital, Aufbau principle)
lesson3:Properties of elements (Periodic table and electron configuration, Ionization energy, Electron affinity)
lesson4:Chemical bond and its theory (Theory of covalent bond, Valence bond theory, Molecular orbital theory, Electronegativity, Polarity)
lesson5:Molecular structure (Hybridized orbital, Shape of molecule)
lesson6:Property of gas (Equation of state, kinetic molecular theory of gases)
lesson7:Properties of liquid and solution (State diagram, Vapor pressure, Osmotic pressure, Raoult’s law)
lesson8:Solid and crystal structure (Unit cell, Metallic crystal, Ionic crystal, Covalent crystal, Molecular crystal)
lesson9:Chemical reaction and energy (thermochemistry, Enthalpy, Entropy, Free energy)
lesson10:Chemical equilibrium (Law of mass action, Electrolytic equilibrium, Solubility product)
lesson11:Reaction rate and energy (Arrhenius equation, Activation energy)
lesson12:Acid-base (Theory of acid-base, Neutralization, Neutralization titration)
lesson13:Titration curve (Hydrolysis, Buffer action)
lesson14:Oxidation-reduction (Change of oxidation number, Reaction formula of oxidation-reduction)
lesson15:Electrochemical cell (Ionization tendency, Electromotive force and free energy)

When this class is completed, a final examination is given.  Post-class Reports are incorporated properly.

In class, questions are asked properly.
