| | General Catalog - Chemistry Courses |
 | | This series presents the foundation principles of chemistry, including stoichiometry, ideal and real gases, acid-base and solubility equilibria, oxidation-reduction reactions, thermochemistry, entropy, nuclear chemistry and radioactivity, the atoms and elements, the periodic table, quantum theory, chemical bonding, molecular structure, chemical kinetics, and descriptive chemistry. |
 | | In lieu of traditional problem sets and laboratories common in chemistry courses, students will prepare critiques of science as it is presented in the media, participate in solving a mock crime, and stage debates about the risks and benefits of chemistry. |
 | | The course will be divided (spring semester) into a section for chemistry majors and one for chemical biology majors, both meeting at the same time, covering topics of interest to each group relating to states of matter, solutions and solvation, (bio)chemical kinetics, molecular dynamics, physical characterization, and transport of molecules. |
