Prereq: Credit or concurrent enrollment in MATH 165 or MATH 166 or MATH 265; concurrent enrollment in CHEM 201L
A one-semester course in general chemistry designed to give students an in-depth, broad-based view of modern chemistry, and, in part, to facilitate participation in independent undergraduate research. Topics include stoichiometry, atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonding, kinetics, chemical equilibria, and thermodynamics. Discussion of current trends in various chemical disciplines, which may be given by guest experts in chemistry, biochemistry, and chemical engineering, will help the student appreciate the scope of the chemical sciences and how research is carried out. One year HS chemistry and one year HS physics, or advanced chemistry necessary. Only one of CHEM 163, 167, 177, or 201 may count toward graduation.
