Bachelor of Science (Honors) in Chemistry (B.Sc.)

At Future University, a B.Sc. (Honours) in Chemistry is a 3-year advanced undergraduate course in which students acquire foundational knowledge of chemistry and its applications, offered by the College Faculty of Applied Science. This program covers key areas such as chemical bonding, electrochemistry, the study of atomic structure, thermodynamics, the chemistry of various elements, classes of organic compounds, coordination chemistry, quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, computer applications in chemistry, and chemical methods. This course opens vocational opportunities in chemical industries, food industries, manufacturing and processing firms, Indian Civil Services, and medical research.

Humans have been adapting and developing, and chemistry has played a vital role in this development with its discoveries in every field: healthcare and medicine, food security and nutrition, energy and industrial development, environmental protection and sustainability, and scientific discovery and education. The College of the Faculty of Applied Science designed the course to provide world-class, cutting-edge labs with advanced experimental setups for hands-on practical experience. Antoine Lavoisier, known as “the father of modern chemistry,” introduced key principles such as the law of conservation of mass and revolutionized chemical nomenclature. In 1869, Dmitri Mendeleev developed the first periodic table, which significantly accelerated human development.

What are the key study areas in Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Chemistry?

1. Chemical Bonding and Atomic Structure

• In this area of chemistry, we learn about the formation of atoms and types of bonds including covalent, ionic, and metallic bonds.

2. Organic Chemistry

• This field of chemistry focuses on the structure, properties, reactions and study of carbon-containing compounds, including hydrocarbons and functional groups.

3. Inorganic Chemistry

• The study of the behaviour of chemical compounds, including metals, minerals, and coordination complexes. It also covers nuclear chemistry, Geochemistry, Bioinorganic chemistry, Solid-state chemistry, and Organometallic chemistry. 

4. Physical Chemistry

• This branch of chemistry studies the physical and chemical properties of matter.  Some topics in physical chemistry include Chemical kinetics, Electrochemistry, Atomic structure, thermodynamics and chemical Bonding.

5. Analytical Chemistry

• Izaak Maurits Kolthoff “the father of modern analytical chemistry” introduced the techniques and instruments for the identification, separation and quantification of matter, including spectroscopy, chromatography, and mass spectrometry.
• Emphasis on precision, accuracy, and the interpretation of analytical data.

6. Biochemistry

• This branch of chemistry uses both fundamentals of biology and chemistry to explore chemical processes related to living organisms, including enzymes, proteins, nucleic acids, and metabolic pathways.
• Provides a foundation for fields like molecular biology, medicine, and biotechnology.

7. Environmental Chemistry

• The study of chemical processes in the environment by using a variety of techniques, including analytical chemistry, math, biology, engineering, genetics, toxicology, and hydrology

8. Quantum Chemistry and Spectroscopy

• Quantum Chemistry is the sub-division of physical science that focuses on the study of chemical systems and their properties. Explore the principles of quantum mechanics to understand atomic and molecular behaviour.
• Spectroscopic techniques for analyzing the structure and properties of molecules.

9. Coordination Chemistry

• The Study of complex compounds called coordination complexes, formed between metal ions and ligands.
• Focus on their structures, bonding, and role in biological systems and industrial applications.

10. Computer Applications in Chemistry

• The use of computational methods and software to model chemical reactions, predict molecular behaviour and design new compounds.
• Introduction to molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry simulations, and data analysis.
