The department of Chemistry was established in the year 1988 under the guidance.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:
• To familiarize the students with the world in which they live and to make them understand the impact of chemistry on society.
• To adjust the students with the scientific method and to enable them to develop . To develop the scientific and research attitude among the students. the scientific attitude.
• To inculcate the habit of reading books, journals etc.
• Imparting of knowledge of fundamentals, principles and concepts in chemistry so that students are able to apply this knowledge to their day today life.
• Developing skills in handling and manipulating apparatus.
• To study the different methods for the purification of organic compounds.
The ultimate Goal of chemistry is to educate students in a way that will allow to the graduate as lifelong learners that are well prepared to their choosen careers.
In order to do this, Faculty strive to establish and maintain a program of excellence that provided foundation and support for several different educational tracks. Includes
a) The BSc degree’s for certification in Chemistry teaching.
b) Pre-Professional programs such as Pre-Engineering,Pre-Medicine or Pre-Pharmacy.
c) The Chemistry Emphesis of the physical science MS degree’s.
d) Allied biological & physical science degree’s programs.
e) The University wide general education program.
1) The Chemistry faculty will strive to maintain a quality program in write faculty are knowledgeable in the subject matter being thought, including current research areas, and we enthusiastic about working with student at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
2) The Chemistry faculty will continue to review & revise the curriculum to ensure that it is rigorous,logically sequenced,of reflective of the current state of the field.
3) They have a functional knowledge of all basic areas of chemistry like analytical,organic & bio-chemistry to increase thinking skills & solve problems.
4) Be proficient in the chemistry laboratory especially with respect to laboratory practices, qualitative chemical analysis,chemical synthesis & modern chemical instrumentation.
5) To be able to clearly articulate scientific information,both orally in writing and also capstone research project .
6) BSc students graduating with chemistry certification will have a chemistry background will allow them to be highly effective teachers at the secondary level.
Chemistry as Discipline Specific Course (DSC) B.Sc. Semester – I; CHEMISTRY-1 After successful completion of three year degree program in Chemistry a student should be able to;
1. Describe the dual nature of radiation and matter; dual behavior of matter and radiation, de Broglie’s equations, Heisenberg Uncertainty principle and their related problems.
2. Quantum mechanics. Derivation of Schrodinger’s wave equation. Orbital sh apes of s, p, d and f atomic orbitals, nodal planes. Electronic configurations of the atoms.
3. Define periodicity, explain the cause of periodicity in properties, and classify the elements into four categories according to their electronic configuration.
4. Define atomic radii, ionisation energy, electron affinity and electronegativity, discuss the factors affecting atomic radii, describe the relationship of atomic radii with ionisation energy and electron affinity, describe the periodicity in atomic radii, ionization energy, electron affinity and electronegativity.
5. Explain bond properties, electron displacement effects (inductive effect, electrometric effect, resonance effect and Hyper conjugation effect). Steric effect and their applications in explaining acidic strength of carboxylic acids, basicity of amines.
6. Understand basic concept of organic reaction mechanism, types of organic reactions, structure, stability and reactivity of reactive intermediates.
7. Describe important characteristics of configurationally and conformational isomers. Practice and write conformational isomers of ethane, butane and cyclohexane.
