INTRODUCTION
Welcome to this chemistry course. We suppose that many of you are ta
m m m m m m m m m m m m
king this course because you want to strengthen your-
m m m m m m m m
background in chemistry. Armed with this strong background in chemi
m m m m m m m m m
stry, you can then proceed to advanced programmes in chemistry. The t
m m m m m m m m m m m
raining of biologists, geoscientists, medical doctors, nurses, soil scientis
m m m m m m m m
ts, food scientists, chemical engineers, petroleum engineers and many o
m m m m m m m m m
thers requires that students in those areas have a good exposure in che
m m m m m m m m m m m m
mistry.
We have packaged this chemistry course in such a way that you will le
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
arn chemistry using a technique peculiar to the open learning system. T
m m m m m m m m m m m
his technique has been adopted by the National Open University of Nig
m m m m m m m m m m m
eria in most of the courses offered to students.
m m m m m m m m
You will here learn the content of this chemistry course at a reasonable
m m m m m m m m m m m m
mpace. You will need to master the language chemists use to describe th
m m m m m m m m m m m m
e world around us. The language is simple, interesting and specific to t
m m m m m m m m m m m m
he subject, chemistry.

We wish you success with the course and hope that you will find it bot
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
h interesting and useful.
