Description

Objective:

The course objective is to familiarize students with the basic principles of chemistry. The course begins with an analysis of matter and its components, stoichiometry, and intermolecular force and phase changes. Properties of liquids, solids, and gasses are also explored. This foundation is used to examine solubility, colligative properties of solutions, chemical reactions, quantum theory and atomic structure, and chemical periodicity. Other topics include main group and transition elements.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Describe the states of matter, their properties, and the effect of chemical measurements on chemical calculations
  • Describe the process of phase change and the properties of liquids and solids
  • Summarize the applications of various gas laws and the kinetic-molecular theory
  • Discuss the various types of chemical reactions
  • Describe the organization of the periodic table with respect to atomic properties
  • Compare and contrast the properties of the main group elements
  • Relate the properties of the transition elements to the formation of coordination compounds
  • Analyze Dalton's atomic theory with respect to the structure of the atom
  • Solve chemical problems relating to various aspects of stoichiometry, such as the mole, molecular formulas, and chemical equations
  • Summarize factors affecting solubility and the colligative properties of liquids
  • Analyze quantum theory with respect to the structure of the atom

General Topics:

  • Fundamentals of chemistry
  • Atomic structure and periodicity
  • Chemical properties and reactions
  • Electrochemistry
  • Nuclear chemistry
  • Transition materials and coordination chemistry
