CHEM 101 General Chemistry is a systematic treatment of the fundamental laws and theories of chemistry and their applications. Designed for science and engineering majors.
Course objectives:
CHEM 101 introduces fundamental concepts of atomic theory, periodic properties of the elements, chemical bonding, molecules and compounds,
reaction stoichiometry, molecular structure, thermodynamics, solution chemistry, states of matter, intermolecular forces,
and chemical equilibrium, including equilibria of acid-base reactions.
Grading: Your grade will be based on scores (totals in parentheses) for three in-class exams (300), a final exam (200), online homework (350), worksheets/written homework or other discetionary assessments (100), and participation and engagement (50). Grades are assigned on the basis
of point percentage according to the scale:
