123.104 Chemistry for Biological Systems (15 credits)

Building on basic chemical principles, this course provides the atomic and molecular foundations for understanding chemistry and the life sciences. Starting from the structure of the atom and an understanding of Gibbs energy it builds a chemical model for bonding, the composition of molecules, intermolecular interactions, chemical equilibria, acids and bases, chemical reactivity, and biological macromolecules.
