Course Description:
1. Develop a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles of physical
chemistry.
2. Explain the fundamental principles of physical chemistry and their applications in
chemical kinetics, molecular reaction dynamics, surface chemistry, catalysis, and colloid
fields.
3. Promote problem-solving skills by expressing important relationships in mathematical
terms, and in applying mathematical techniques to the solution of relevant problems in the
above fields. 4.
Integrate the fundamental subjects learned with practical applications

Attendance Policies:
 Be Punctual.
 Attendance is mandatory. Students are not allowed to miss more than 15% of the
lectures, without acceptable real cause.
 If a student misses more that 15 % of the course lectures, she/he will forfeit the course
credits. After this, medical reports may be submitted for evaluation, for a total absence
of no more than 20%. If student misses more than 20% of lectures, regardless of the
cause, the course will be failed.
