An introduction to the composition, structure, and
properties of matter. The first semester covers stoichiometry, atomic
structure, periodic trends, bonding and
molecular geometry, and the behavior
of gases, liquids, and solids. The laboratory stresses basic techniques and
quantitative applications. Basic algebra skills are required. Concurrent
enrollment in calculus is recommended for students who intend to go on in
chemistry.

Structure and reactions of specific types of
organic compounds will be studied, and interrelationships will be developed, to
provide an integrated understanding of organic chemistry. General principles
and reaction mechanisms will be emphasized, but the accumulation and
utilization of factual material will also be expected. The laboratory will be
coordinated with classroom topics and should provide direct experience with
many reactions and concepts. The lab is also intended to develop familiarity
with experimental design, techniques, and instrumental methods such as
chromatography and spectroscopy.

This course continues a modern, molecular approach
to Physical Chemistry. Statistical
mechanics is developed as the link between quantum chemistry (discussed in
Chemistry 411) and equilibrium thermodynamics and chemical kinetics. Carefully
chosen experiments illustrate these topics.

credits. Topics include the kinetic theory of gases; rates
of chemical reactions and how these rates can be explained in terms of reaction
mechanisms; theories of chemical kinetics; and reaction dynamics.
