IC/Ch 1 abc
Integrated Core: General Chemistry with Lab
6 units (3-1-2); 9 units (4-2-3); 6 units (1-3-2)
|
first, second, and third terms
Prerequisites: concurrent enrollment in other integrated core classes and instructor permission.
An introduction to general chemistry focusing on the molecular level understanding of the structures, properties and reactivities of matter. The course introduces the physical and electronic structures of atoms and molecules, periodic properties, chemical bonding, atomic and molecular spectroscopy, equilibrium thermodynamics, acid-base chemistry, electrochemistry, kinetics, and fundamental reactions of organic and biochemistry. This material provides the foundation to develop the molecular basis of energy production, conversion, storage and transmission in both society and the biosphere, with carbon dioxide used as a reference system in the lectures and the lab to exemplify underlying chemical concepts. Satisfies the core requirements for Ch 1ab and Ch 3a/3x.
