COURSE OBJECTIVES
- Provide a description of structure of matter.
- Point-out similarities in properties of elements and low
configuration of atoms leads to the formation of a wide variety of substances.
- Provide a first look at interaction of matter (chemical
reactions).
- Emphasize how quantitative information can be obtained from
chemical equations.
- Encourage the student to use reason and logic in the solution
of chemical problems.
