Chem 103
Introductory University Chemistry I
Description
Atoms and molecules, states of matter, chemistry of the elements. Prerequisite: Chemistry 30, or equivalent. Note: Restricted to Engineering students only.ÂLearning Outcomes
Analyze one-electron systems using the Bohr model of atomic structure and some basic quantum principles (Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, dual nature of light and matter, wave functions, probability distributions, quantum numbers).Correlate quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms) to atomic orbital energies, shapes and spatial orientations.
In many-electron systems, predict atomic and ionic ground-state electron configurations and construct electron energy diagrams.
Using models of atomic structure, predict trends in periodic properties and reactivity
Differentiate between diffent types of bondings including covalent, ionic, and metallic bonding
Generate a Lewis structures for covalent molecules and ions and, coupled with the VSEPR and hybridization theories, determine the molecule's geometry, polarity, and bonding (bond order, bond length, strength and energy)
Using Molecular Orbital theory assess the bonding (bond order and strength) and magnetic properties in second-row homonuclear and heteronuclear diatomic molecules and ions
For ideal and real gases, predict and caculate properties (pressure, volume, temperature, moles, molar mass) for pure and mixed gas systems
Using molecular structures and intermolecular forces, predict physical predictions (boiling and melting points, vapour pressure, viscosity, capillarity, solubility) for liquids, solids, gases, and solutions
Predict physical properties for ionic and metallic solids and use crystal lattice systems to calculate density, atomic radius, and packing efficiency
Correctly use personal protective equipment, glassware, equipment (spectrophotometers, pH meters), and techniques (filtration, precipitation, titration) while following WHMIS, chemical safety and chemical disposal guidelines
Analyze and interpret experimental results by applying theories learned throughout the course. Report these results with appropriate graphs, tables, and precision
