This unit builds on first year chemistry units and consolidates the theoretical and practical framework required by students who intend to major in chemistry or who need additional chemistry to support their studies in other science areas. Organic and inorganic synthesis is emphasised although molecular structure and the interrelationship of chemistry with the life sciences are also highlighted. Lectures include organic spectroscopy and the synthesis, reactions and chemical properties of organic and inorganic compounds. Examples are taken from the biological world so the unit is suitable not only for chemistry majors but also for those seeking to strengthen their chemical background for other studies, particularly in the biotechnology, biochemical, biological and microbiological areas. Laboratory sessions involve experiments illustrating specific lecture topics, and small scale preparation of organic and inorganic compounds.
Students who would like to do this unit but have a timetable problem with lectures, tutorials or laboratory work should consult the unit coordinator.
This unit together with KRA223 and KRA225 comprise the three 200 level Chemistry units leading to a major in Chemistry. The Royal Australian Chemical Institute recommends that all three of these units be completed in order to join the Institute as a member.

Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Campus - H Hobart, L Launceston, W Burnie. Study Centre - V Sydney, R Rozelle. Distance units may also have a campus identifier of I Isolated, N Interstate, O Overseas.
