General Chemistry II

Catalog description

This is a course in fundamental chemical principles. Topics include intermolecular forces, phase changes, the properties of solutions kinetics, equilibrium, acid-base chemistry and buffers, solubility equilibria, atmospheric chemistry, entropy and free energy, electrochemistry, the chemistry of metals and nonmetals, coordination complexes, and nuclear chemistry. Students enrolled in distance versions of this course will be required to come to campus for an orientation meeting and completion of certain exams and laboratories. This is the second of a two-semester sequence designed for students entering a scientific field.
