This course Introduces fundamental concepts and principles of chemistry. Topics include atomic theory and its relation to chemical behavior, chemical bonding, the mole and stoichiometry, molecular kinetics, energy relationships, solution dynamics, acids-bases, equilibrium, and organic and biological chemistry. Emphasis is placed on the utilization of mathematical, analytical, data acquisition, and communication skills as well as interdisciplinary approaches to discovery.
This document includes a rough and incomplete mapping from the course content to the text book. Sometimes a chapter or section is referenced (ch) and sometimes a page or group of pages is referenced (p). If the relevant text is spread over several pages then only the number of the first page is given.
Choose one of the following topics, do some research and prepare to give a 7 to 10 minute presentation for your teacher and classmates at the beginning of the school year. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation to accompany your oral presentation. The PowerPoint should be mainly images with minimum text. The text should be mainly key points from the presentation, and must be large enough to be easily legible. You may not simply read the text of the PowerPoint presentation, though you may have some notes on a postcard to make sure you don't omit anything important. At the end of the PowerPoint presentation, list your sources. Spend 2-3 hours on this project. This project will be graded.

We will follow the order of the textbook rather than the order of the official course outline that is presented over the following pages.
We will study the first 15 chapters of the text book EXCEPT 5.3, 8.3?, 9.5?, 11.3, 12.3, 14.4, 15.3
We will also study the following sections: 16.1, 17.1, 18.1, 18.2, 19.1-4, 20.2, 20.3?
That means we will study about 16 chapters in about 26 weeks of actual teaching, so we need to cover about 0.6 chapters per week or spend 1.7 weeks on each chapter, on average.
The 'Go Online' links in the textbook should work but the 'Interactive Textbook' exercises are probably no longer available because our text book is an older edition.
