Description
  
  
General chemistry I is an introductory course intended for first year university students. It covers basic topics including: The scientific method, measurements and significant figures, units and dimensional analysis, naming simple inorganic compounds, stoichiometry, basic reactions in aqueous solutions and solution stoichiometry, properties of gases and kinetic molecular theory, measurements and calculations of energy associated with physical changes and chemical reactions, basic quantum theory and the electronic structure of the atoms, atomic periodic properties, ionic bonding, covalent bonding, molecular geometry, and hybridization of atomic orbitals.
  
General chemistry II is the second semester of a two-semester sequence that introduces the principles of chemistry for first year university students. General chemistry I (0303101) is a required prerequisite for this course. General chemistry II covers topics including: Intermolecular forces, phase changes and phase diagrams, physical properties of solutions, effect of temperature and pressure on solubility, colligative properties, chemical kinetics (rate and rate law of chemical reactions, activation energy, reaction mechanisms, and catalysis), chemical equilibrium and Le Châtelier’s principle, acids and basis, buffer solutions, solubility equilibria, the second law of thermodynamics and entropy, Gibbs free energy and its relationship with chemical equilibrium, redox reactions, electrochemical cells, thermodynamics of electrochemical cells, and electrolysis.
  
This 4 credit hours special course is particularly designed for freshman students of medicine. It is a combination of General Chemistry I (0303101) & General Chemistry II (0303102) introductory first year courses.
  
  
  
  
Physical chemistry II is the second semester of the three-semester physical chemistry sequence offered by the department of chemistry intended for undergraduates majoring in chemistry. This course covers basic concepts and ideas of electrochemistry, chemical kinetics, and surface chemistry.
  
Physical chemistry III is the third semester of the three-semester physical chemistry sequence offered by the department of chemistry intended for undergraduates majoring in chemistry. This course covers elementary quantum theory with applications to simple systems, atomic structure and spectroscopy, molecular structure and spectroscopy, and statistical thermodynamics.
