An introduction to the principles which govern the behavior of chemical and physical systems. Among topics discussed are elements, compounds and the periodic table; chemical reactions and stoichiometry; thermochemistry; atomic theory; quantum theory of atoms and molecules; chemical periodicity; bonding and molecular structure. Laboratory exercises stress development of proper experimental technique and interpretation of empirical data. Intended for students majoring in the natural sciences, engineering, or pre-health sciences and for non- majors who want or need a more challenging introductory course in chemistry. (4 credit hours)
