Learn chemistry in six easy-to-understand modules

In this four-part structured eLearning course, spanning six modules, you’ll be given a solid introduction to chemistry. Written by experienced lecturer Laura Robinson, you will learn how to identify some important hazard properties, such as pH and its link with corrosivity, and important exposure routes, including the use of water solubility and Log Kow for predicting absorption.

This eLearning course will provide you with a basic understanding of some of the most common physicochemical terms used in the prediction of likely exposure routes and hazardous effects; not only for human health but also for environmental fate and effects. What's more, expanding your knowledge of chemistry will help you with the identification of structural alerts, the use of appropriate read across and mechanisms of action.

Duration: 3-4 hours

Why you need to understand chemistry

Chemistry is the branch of science concerned with the substances of which matter is composed, the investigation of their properties and reactions, and the use of such reactions to form new substances. Understanding the basics of the subject can help you remain aware of chemical safety and these key concepts will help you understand why physical and chemical properties can differ between chemicals.

How this course can help

This informative eLearning course clearly explains:

Atomic structure
Chemical bonding
Chemical categories and nomenclature
