Preface
Science education is central to the development of any society. This can be
achieved only by revamping the undergraduate teaching to make it effective and
meaningful. This requires a curriculum, appropriate to achieve the goal. The
curriculum, thus should contain the necessary aspects to i) make the students
creative ii) emphasize the scientific method which has helped in solving problems
iii) make aware of those aspects of science that are environmental based and life
centered iv) develop the mental faculty of open mindedness and v) train students
in the use of equipments in chemistry laboratories.
The Higher Education Council of Kerala has taken the initiative to remodel
the undergraduate syllabus by introducing the credit and semester system at this
level also. This approach has necessitated the revision of syllabus of all subjects.
Chemistry, being a border science both to biology, physics and engineering has
significant role to play. With this fact the syllabus of undergraduate courses in
chemistry has been revised with participation of large number of teachers, experts
and industrialists. It is hoped that the new approach will empower our future
students to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

SEMESTER I - CORE COURSE I
FOUNDATIONS IN CHEMISTRY (36 HOURS)
CREDIT – 2 (2HOURS/WEEK)
Preamble
The students of undergraduate programme in Chemistry should be exposed
to the different methodologies used in science.. Therefore, one module each on
methodology in science and methodology in chemistry is introduced which helps
the student to get an idea on the tactics and strategies to be adopted in chemistry.
Here a detailed study is not expected, instead an introduction on the terms and
concepts in chemistry is visualized.
From a historical point of view Inorganic Chemistry is synonymous with
general chemistry. An inorganic chemistry student is expected to be conversant
with the chemistry of all the elements and has been closely allied with analytical
chemistry, with physical chemistry and even with organic chemistry. By
considering the rapid development in the field of inorganic chemistry since the late
1950's it has become necessary that an undergraduate chemistry student should
gain perspective on the past, without compromising the modern developments. The
present syllabus has been so designed as to fulfill both these aspects.
Module 1: Methodology and Perspectives of Sciences(6 hours)

science? – What is not science? – Hypothesis – theories and laws in science –

THEORETICAL CHEMISTRY (36 HOURS)
CREDIT – 2 (2HOURS/ WEEK)
Preamble
Properties of bulk matter can be examined from the viewpoint of
thermodynamics. But it is essential to know how these properties stem from the
behaviour of individual atoms and molecules. The laws of quantum mechanics
decide the properties of the micro-world. There are two approaches for
introducing quantum mechanics. One is to follow the historical development of the
quantum theory and the other is to begin from the basic principles of the theory
straightaway. The course follows the first path since it is interesting and students
can better appreciate the gradual emergence of the theory. Module I introduces the
evolution of the theory from the above viewpoint. After studying this module, the
student realizes the failures of classical physics theories in explaining the micro-
world and he admits that a new theory is the need of the hour, which is quantum
theory. Module II deals with the basic principles (the postulates) involved in
quantum mechanics and introduces the Schrödinger wave equation. After
completing the module, the student knows how to solve the time-independent
Schrödinger wave equation of different systems. The major objective of this module
is to give him the message that wave functions of the hydrogen atom are nothing
but orbitals.
Molecules are formed from the combination of atoms. In Module III, the
student learns the different approximation methods to combine the wave functions
of two atoms, namely the valence bond method and the molecular orbital method.
Thus he gets an idea of the quantum mechanical treatment of chemical bonding in
diatomic molecules.
Module IV is an extension of the idea developed above to polyatomic
molecules through the concept of hybridization (linear combination of orbitals of
the same atom). The latter part of the module explains the formation of bands from
the atomic orbitals in metals.
The course aims to inculcate an atomic/molecular level thinking in the
minds of the students.

SEMESTER V OPEN COURSE I
PLASTICS AND RUBBERS IN EVERYDAY LIFE (54 HOURS)
CREDIT 2(3HOURS/WEEK)
Preamble
Polymer Science and Technology is one of the increasingly important

multidisciplinary areas of modern science. An updated and content revision of UG
polymer chemistry syllabus is essential to improve its quality at the national and
international level and also to meet the present day challenges of PG and research
oriented work after the UG programme. The study of polymer chemistry provides
supplementary knowledge in making solid background in the traditional areas of
chemistry (general, analytical, organic, physical and inorganic). Polymer chemistry
touches many scientific disciplines and is vital in fields that develop products typically
such as plastics, synthetic fibers; agricultural chemicals, paints adhesives; and
biomedical appliances.
There is something unique about studying polymers, macromolecules have a

greater complexity than do small molecules. Over the years, our understanding of
these large molecules has increased so much that, although they remain complex, we
have tools that provide us with a better understanding of their properties, enabling us
to make connections between their structure at the molecular level and their
properties at the use level.
The revised syllabus takes care of all the above mentioned facts and
incorporates most of the important points which cover the fundamentals of polymer
chemistry including the classification of polymers, their molecular weight and its
determination, structure-property relationships polymer testing and applications.
