Learning Outcomes
Outcome
Describe the structure and behavior of matter (atoms, molecules and ionic substances) using appropriate models (quantum mechanical, Lewis, VSEPR, etc.). Apply knowledge of chemical structures to intermolecular forces and properties of liquids and solids.
Outcome
Solve quantitative chemistry problems using appropriate dimensional analysis (including reaction stoichiometry, solution preparation, thermochemical calculations and behavior of matter in the gas phase).
Outcome
Demonstrate fluency in chemical nomenclature.
Outcome
Recognize and predict different types of chemical reactions (precipitation, acid-base, redox).
Outcome
Associate and evaluate energy and entropy changes with various chemical processes.
Outcome
Engage in safe practices in the laboratory.
Outcome
Demonstrate appropriate laboratory technique, measurement skill, and interpretation of results.
Outcome
Communicate laboratory work effectively in written reports.
