Chemistry 211 is a prerequisite to Chemistry 212. Basic facts and principles of chemistry, including atomic and molecular structure, gas laws, kinetics, equilibrium, electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry, and the properties and uses of the more important elements and their compounds. Students majoring in science, engineering, or mathematics should choose this course. Credit will not be given for both this course and CHEM 103, 104. Fundamental principles of chemical structure and reactivity, including atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonding, structures of ionic, covalent, and metallic lattices, oxidation-reduction, electrochemistry, chemistry of metals, and introduction to organic chemistry and polymers.
Enrollment is restricted to students intending to major in engineering.
The theoretical, synthetic, industrial, and biological aspects of the chemistry of carbon compounds. In the first semester all students take concurrently CHEM 315. Corequisite CHEM 313. Lab techniques and reactions arranged to accompany CHEM 313. One hour recitation.
