Course Description: CHEM 110 is
the first semester of a two-semester, comprehensive general chemistry
course that introduces the students to the basic principles of
chemistry with an emphasis on the relationships between the microscopic
structure and macroscopic properties of matter. Principles are
illustrated with a wide variety of examples from the sciences,
engineering and technology, and from everyday life. The course
covers the following topics: matter and measurement, molecules and
molecular compounds, ions and ionic compounds, chemical reaction types,
atomic and molecular weights, the mole, quantitative calculations with
chemical reactions, the periodic table, nomenclature, aqueous reactions
and solution stoichiometry, thermochemistry, electronic structure of
atoms, periodic properties of the elements, chemical bonding, molecular
geometry, the gaseous, liquid, and solid states of matter, properties
of solutions, some basic aspects
of chemical equilibrium, and applications to the real world including
environmental chemistry.
