Foundations of Chemistry II

Catalog description

This course is a continuation of Foundations of Chemistry I. Topics covered include the theories of intermolecular interactions, molecular orbital theory, reaction kinetics, chemical equilibria, acid-base reactions, properties of solutions, properties of solids, phase changes, transition-metal chemistry, coordination chemistry, electrochemistry, and nuclear chemistry. Students will reinforce and refine their physical and chemical intuition with a problems-based approach. pre-req: CHEM-SHU 125 Foundations of Chemistry I AND pre-req or co-req: MATH-SHU 131 Calculus or MATH-SHU 201 Honors Calculus Fulfillment: Biology Foundational Courses; Chemistry Foundational Courses; Mathematics & Honors Mathematics Science Lecture sections; Neural Science Foundational Courses; Physics Foundational Courses.
