Blurb:
Welcome to your first course in college chemistry. In this course, we will be exploring laws, theories, and principles of chemistry as related to matter. Atomic structure and the periodicity of elements, stoichiometry of chemical formulas and reactions, gas laws and kinetic molecular theory, solutions and solubility, energy change in chemical reactions and thermochemistry, quantum theory and electron configuration, bonding theories and shapes of molecules, intermolecular forces of attraction and phase change, and acid-base theories, are some of these topics.
Required Material:
 Text Book; Chemistry - A Molecular Approach, Nivaldo J. Tro; 3rd Edition, available in the Pierce Bookstore.
 MasteringChemistry – Books purchased at the Pierce’s Bookstore includes the access code for mastering
Chemistry. If you buy your book elsewhere, then purchase it online from www.masteringchemistry.com
 Lab Manual; Chemistry 101, General Chemistry I, Pierce College. 2nd Edition.
 Lab Notebook; Chemistry (bound) laboratory notebook with carbonated sets of pages.
 Eye protection – Required by State law. Must be worn in the lab at all times. The ones that fit all around the eyes, i.e., flush on the forehead, cheeks, and the nose, are recommended.
 Calculator: A simple, inexpensive, non-programmable, scientific calculator, that is able to determine logarithm. Tentative Lecture Schedule:

    The student is presented with the concepts related with chemicals and chemistry, starting by the need to understand numerical structures of the metric system in the sciences. After discovering the basics of atomic and molecular structure and the calculations necessary to experiment with these materials, will be study the factors which can affect these structures. You will understand that all matter is composed of elements and how the amounts of some of them are crucial to the proper growth and function of the body. The basics of organic chemistry as they pertain to biological chemistry are also…

    Developed in 1957 with Ronal Nyholm, Gillespie has done extensive work on expanding the idea of the VSEPR model of molecular geometry. The theory they created is much more effect to predict, explain and describe the 3D molecular shapes (linear, pyramidal, cubical etc.) based on the number of electron pairs that are found on the outer shell. Their theory is based on electron repulsion of bonded and unbonded electron pairs.…

    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION One might think that chemists are a bunch of boring scientists who wear lab coats and look at beakers all day, but did you know that many toys you play with are made using chemistry? Some of your favorite toys like Gak, Slime and Silly Putty started out as chemistry experiments. In fact, some of your favorite toys may have been invented by chemists who work for toy companies like: Crayola, Play-Doh or Mattell. Chemistry is the study of matter, and how different elements of matter interact. There are many different kids of matter, which need to be described using the concept of properties. Toys like silly putty are unique because of they have distinct properties that are different from the properties of other types of matter. There are two different kinds of properties, chemical properties and physical properties. Chemical properties are qualities that can be observed during a chemical reaction, like when vinegar reacts with baking soda. Physical properties are qualities that can be observed during physical change in the absence of a chemical reaction, like the melting of an ice cube. Physical properties can be used to describe the state of a chemical, which can be a solid, liquid or a gas. The physical and chemical properties of Silly Putty are what make it so much fun because it is a polymer that is stretchy and bouncy! Scientists use properties to describe all of the unique qualities of a chemical or a mixture of chemicals. To do this they use descriptive language, or words that are used to describe objects. Some descriptive words used to describe a chemical might be: hot, cold, squishy, hard, soft, crystalline, granular,…

    Chemistry (the etymology of the word has been much disputed)[1] is the science of matter and the changes it undergoes. The science of matter is also addressed by physics, but while physics takes a more general and fundamental approach, chemistry is more specialized, being concerned with the composition, behavior (or reaction), structure, and properties of matter, as well as the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions.[2] It is a physical science which studies various substances, atoms, molecules, crystals and other aggregates of matter whether in isolation or combination, and which incorporates the concepts of energy and entropy in relation to the spontaneity of chemical processes.…
