 The Paradigm Shift
• These new opportunities are much broader in scope and greater in complexity and require new structures
and methods.

• “Chemistry is no longer just about atoms and molecules, but about what it, as
a field with unique capabilities in manipulating molecules and matter, can do to
understand, manipulate, and control complex systems composed (in part) of
atoms and molecules: its future extends from living cells to megacities, and from
harvesting sunlight to improving healthcare.” Prof. George Whitesides
https://chemistry.harvard.edu/people/george-whitesides

integrate “solving problems” and “generating understanding”

Expansion of scope is opening the door to new opportunities

 CHEM 101 – Principles of Chemistry
Course contents
Understanding of the fundamental principles of chemistry that are driving force for life and fueling the technological
advancements that are happening at an astronomical pace.

1. Structure of atom – electrons (SZ, KW)

2. Origin of the periodicity of properties of elements (KW)
3. Bonding in molecules and theories describing the molecular structures (SZ, KW)
4. Bonding in solids – Conductors vs Semiconductors (Band gap) vs Insulator (KW)
5. Introduction to Organic Chemistry (Chapter 2 SFS and Chapter 22 - SZ)
6. Fundamentals of Polymer Chemistry (Ch 27: Organic Chemistry by Paula Yurkanis Bruice 7th Edition)
7. Spectroscopy - IR Spectroscopy (Chapter 2 - SFS)

Redefining chemistry that is traditionally known as the field of study of atoms and molecules, whereas it is actually the
study of everything that constitute atoms and molecules, which is pretty much everything around us.
