Students will explore the properties of chemical systems from both macroscopic and molecular perspectives, with real-world examples from various fields. Topics covered include atomic structure, chemical bonding, stoichiometry and chemical reactions, gas laws, intermolecular forces, and the composition of substances and solutions. In addition to two 75-minute lectures, the course includes a 75-minute workshop, a 50-minute lab lecture and a 2-hour 50-minute laboratory session each week. Students must register for all components of the course (lecture, workshop, lab lecture, and lab). A laboratory fee will be billed by the Bursar.
