    Description
    In lectures students learn nomenclature, atomic structure, quantum theory, bonding theories and molecular geometry, chemical equations, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, solid, liquid and gaseous states and related forces, gas laws, solutions and colligative properties, periodic relationships, and acid base theories. Laboratory exercises are quantitative in nature and are related to the lecture topics. This is the first semester of a one-year course in chemistry intended for majors in the natural sciences (chemistry, biochemistry, biology, physics, pre-medicine), mathematics, and engineering.
