Course Description: Chemistry is a course that will focus on the properties of matter. We will primarily be
concerned with the structure of matter and how substances interact with one another.
This course will focus on the following: atomic structure, bonding, kinetics,
thermodynamics, acid base reactions, stoichiometry, oxidation and redox, organic,
and nuclear chemistry.
