Program(s): Summer College, Undergraduate Courses
*Taught Online* This is the first in a three-course sequence that is a comprehensive survey of modern descriptive, inorganic, and physical chemistry for students with a good secondary school exposure to general chemistry. We cover atomic and molecular theories, chemical periodicity, chemical reactivity and bonding, chemical equilibria, acid-base equilibria, solubility equilibria, phase equilibria, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, kinetics, quantum mechanics, and nuclear chemistry. Examples are drawn from chemical, biological, and materials systems. The laboratory portion includes an introduction to quantitative measurements, investigation of the properties of the important elements and their compounds, and experiments associated with the common ions and their separation and identification. Attendance at discussion and laboratory sessions is required.
Remote or Residential
Course Considerations
Visiting undergraduate and pre-college students should have taken the equivalent of one year of high school chemistry and have a strong mathematics background (preferably experience with single variable calculus).
The lab section is offered both in-person and remotely.
