Description
General Chemistry covers the fundamental laws and theories of chemical processes involving the
common elements and their compounds. Topics include atomic structure, periodic classifications,
physical states, chemical formulas and equations, stoichiometry, chemical reactions, bonding
theories, molecular structure and reactions in aqueous solutions. A working knowledge of these
topics is obtained through a series of lectures, laboratory exercises, computer exercises and
molecular models. Basic mathematics and elementary algebra are sufficient to understand the
concepts presented; additional mathematical concepts are taught if needed. The course prepares one
for a better awareness of the chemical nature of the world and understanding of everyday problems.
Three lecture hours and one two-hour laboratory per week.
