Discussion, oral presentations, problem solving, and reading of current literature pertinent to research interests of one or more faculty. For chemistry graduate students doing research.

Basic principles of structure and reactivity. Microscopic nature of atoms and molecules; the macroscopic properties of chemical systems. Topics include stoichiometry, thermochemistry, atomic structure, molecular structure, properties of gases. (Gen.Ed. PS)


Prerequisites: MATH 101 and MATH 102, or its equivalent of MATH 104, or a score of 20 or higher on Part "A" of the Math Placement test, or MATH 127, 128, 131, or 132. Note: a maximum of 5 units may be received for both CHEM 101 and CHEM 102, or 2 units for either, if CHEM 111 is completed.
