Text: Chemistry: The Central Science, by Brown, Lemay and
Bursten, 9th edition, Prentice Hall, 2003, ISBN 0-13-066997-0
Recommended Text: Solutions to Exercises, by Wilson, 9th
edition, Prentice Hall, 2003, ISBN 0-13-009798-5 (This will also be on
reserve in the Blommer Library, 3rd floor Reiss)
From medicine to physics, every scientific field has at its core some of the
concepts that we will cover in this course and in Chemistry 002, which most
of you will take in the spring. We will begin with the basic “grammar” of
chemistry, the atom, and subatomic particles. We will then move on to
interactions between atoms to form molecules and ionic compounds, and then to
interactions and reactions between molecules, ionic compounds and/or atoms.
Next, we will look at the energy changes during reactions and begin thinking
about why some reactions take place while others do not. We will end the
semester with a discussion of the rates at which reactions take place.
Throughout the semester we will look at how all of these show up in everyday
life.
Grading: You will have three in-class exams. These will count for two-thirds
of your grade in the course. Your final exam will count the remaining third.
There will be no makeup exams, so if you miss an exam, your other exams will
count more toward your final.
Your final grades will be assigned based on the following guidelines. (You
are guaranteed to receive at least the grade corresponding to your percentage
grade.)

Honor code: Entering students are required by the College to complete
the on-line tutorial on academic honesty. Violation of the principles set
forth in the tutorial are grounds for failure in the course. Cheating, in any
form, will not be tolerated.
Suggested Problems: You will not be required to turn in the suggested
problems for each chapter. However, it makes sense that if I have suggested a
problem, it probably illustrates a concept that I feel is important for you
to remember. The answers to these can be found in the Solutions Manual for
the text. This is available on an optional basis in the student bookstore and
will also be on reserve in the Blommer Science Library on the third floor of
Reiss.
