CH 107H - intensive General Chemistry Honors 4

Institution:

Skidmore College

Subject:

Description:

Study of the fundamental concepts of chemistry for motivated students who have a strong background in chemistry and intend to major in the natural sciences. Topics include atomic theory, chemical equilibria, acids and bases, electrochemistry, kinetics and bonding theories. Emphasis is placed on active student participation and class discussion of course material. In addition, students are required to carry out an honors project (e.g., a written paper or poster) that involves library research on a topic in chemistry, proper citation of sources, and formal presentation to chemistry faculty and students. Laboratory experiments emphasize modern research techniques and instrumentation and prepare students for exploratory lab projects at the honors level that students complete during the last two weeks of the semester. Training in scientific writing will be an integral part of the laboratory experiences. Three hours of lecture-discussion and three hours of laboratory a week. Prerequisites: Consent of the department based on an online diagnostic exam administered during the summer, and QR1 results. Prepares students for CH207H and CH221. (Fulfills the natural science and QR2 requirements.) S. Frey, R. Nagarajan
