CHE 1201General Chemistry I

Catalog

This course is intended for science majors with a strong emphasis on the quantitative aspects of chemistry. The course begins with an investigation of the ways in which we represent atoms and molecules symbolically, and their structures and spectroscopic signals. We then consider properties related to their physical states: gases, liquids, and solids. Finally, we scale up our investigation to explore how we relate the submicroscopic realm of atoms and molecules to the physically observable macroscopic world by considering such aspects as stoichiometry and moles.
