Spring 2013: Chemistry 2C: Freshman Honors Chemistry

Girvetz Hall 1112, T & R, 9:30 pm to 10:45 pm: Office hours following class or by appointment

Description:

This is a continuation of the freshman honors class, and we will continue to use the 7th Edition of Chemical Principles, 7th Edition by Steven S. Zumdahl and Donald J. DeCoste, ISBN-10: 1111580650 and ISBN-13: 9781111580650, 2013. We will cover the following chapters, and in the following order: 13, 14, 16, 17, and 19, and of somewhat lesser priority is covering chapters 21, 20, and 18, that we will come to at the end. The book is required, but likely you already have it.

Resources:

Printable (PDF) periodic table from NIST with electronic configurations. You so need this !
