Course Description:	Structure of the atom and the periodic law. Chemical bonding. Molecular orbitals. Chemical reactions. Applications of chemical stoichiometry. Solutions, colloids. Chemical kinetics. Chemical equilibrium. Chemical thermodynamics. Electrochemistry and oxidation-reduction. Organic chemistry.
Course Objectives:	1. To understand that all matter consists of atoms, and that the limitless variety observed around us stems from the ways that these atoms bond with one another. 2. To learn problem solving and learning to interpret the data. 3. To learn the principles of atomic and molecular theory, stoichiometry, and thermodynamics. 4. To generalize the analytical and quantitative skills gained in this course and to apply them in more advanced courses and throughout ones career.
