Undergraduate Courses
This course covers the study of the major concepts and theories required for an understanding of chemical phenomena. Introduction to the general principles of chemistry for students planning a professional career in chemistry, related sciences, the health professions, or engineering.
- Stoichiometry
- Atomic structure
- Chemical bonding and geometry
- Thermochemistry
- Gases
- Types of chemical reactions
- Statistics
Weekly laboratory exercises emphasize quantitative techniques and complement the lecture material. Laboratory work includes quantitative measurements, characterization of chemicals by physical and spectroscopic methods, molecular modeling, and student-assigned projects concentrating on quantitative measurements of solutions.
This course aims to teach the basic concepts of chemistry and understand direct chemical changes as well as to perceive a connection between an observation in the ”real” macroscopic world and an imagined change in the microscopic world, which is the world of atoms, ions, and molecules.
