CHEM 1AH
General Chemistry I - HONORS
Course Description
This course provides an introduction to the structure and reactivity of matter at the molecular level, as well as an application of critical reasoning to modern chemical theory and structured numerical problem-solving. Students will learn the development of molecular structure from rudimentary quantum mechanics, including an introduction to ionic and covalent bonding; chemical problem-solving involving both formula and reaction stoichiometry employing the unit analysis method; and be introduced to thermochemistry and a discussion of the first law of thermodynamics. Additionally, this course is part of the Honors Program.
