General Chemistry
It is quite remarkable that in 430 BC, Democritus of ancient Greece proclaimed that the atom was the simplest unit of matter, and that all matter was composed of atoms. If only he'd had a scanning tunneling electron microscope (STEM), capable of imaging individual atoms. Modern chemists are focused on all aspects of chemical reactions for the development of new drugs, materials, consumer products, industrial processes, agricultural chemicals and more.
A basic course in general chemistry will involve the following topics:
- Basic Concepts
- Measurement
- Atoms and Atomic Masses
- Electronic Configuration
- Chemical Bonding
- Nomenclature
- Formula Calculations
- Chemical Reactions
- Stoichiometry
- Net Ionic Equations
- Molarity
- Gases
- Solids and Liquids
- Solutions
- Oxidation Numbers
- Kinetics and Equilibrium
- Acids and Bases
- Organic Chemistry
- Nuclear Reactions
Students should be following the International Journal of Chemistry to keep up to date in this area. The University of Arizona has a chemistry tutorial. And finally, one can find a list of "top ten" books on general chemistry at Amazon.com.
To fulfill our mission of educating students, our homework help and online tutoring centers are standing by 24/7, ready to assist students who need extra help in general chemistry.
