| DESCRIPTION:
|
"A study of modern theories of atomic and molecular structure and their
relationships to the
chemistry of selected elements and their compounds." The course is divided into four areas: |
| a) Atomic Structure and Properties, Ionic
Bonding, and Structures of Solids
b) Covalent Bonding, Molecular Shapes, and Symmetry c) Coordination Chemistry (d-Metal Complexes) d) Selected topics of solution and descriptive chemistry |

| LAB POLICIES:
|
Safety glasses and bound lab notebook required; no bare feet, sandals
or shorts in lab. Written lab reports will be due one week
following completion of each experiment, with a late penalty of five points
plus one point per day late. Reports are done individually, even
on experiments done by pairs.
|
| EXAMS:
|
There will be three hour exams and a comprehensive final (ACS Standardized).
|
| HOMEWORK:
|
A regular schedule of assignments will be made and must be completed
when due. These
assignments, as well as written lab reports, are considered take-home, open-book quizzes and will be graded. Students may consult the instructor for hints, and are welcome to consult literature sources, but must do their own work. Violations of this policy will be considered as cases of academic dishonesty (see next page). |
GRADING SCHEME:
| 300 | Hour Exams | Extra Credit: 3 pts added for each |
| 140 | Final Exam (100 ACS, 40 Descriptive Chem) | Colloquium attended, in excess |
| 160 | Lab Experiments (130) and Student Lecture (30) | of class absences, max. of 21 pts. |
| 200 | Class, HW, Nomenclature Exam | Class:3 pts @ deducted in excess |
| 800 | TOTAL | of 3 absences. |
Letter grades will be assigned on the following basis:
| 100-90% = A | 87-86% = B+ | 76-75% = C+ | 65-64% = D+ | <55% = F |
| 89-88% = A- | 85-79% = B | 74-68% = C | 63-57% = D | |
| 78-77% = B- | 67-66% = C- | 56-55% = D- |
