CHEM 111-01, General Chemistry Fall 1999

Abstract

In this course, you will study several of the fundamental principles that define chemistry by exploring the composition, structure, properties and reactivity of matter. You will focus most of your attention on inorganic compounds, but the underlying ideas in the models of bonding and reactivity that we will discuss are applicable to most compounds. At the completion of the class, you should have a solid introduction to the models that scientists use to explain the observed composition, structure and reactivity of matter, and should be able to apply these models to help you predict such properties.
