Document Summary

Chem 1010 is an introductory course in chemistry, typically offered at the undergraduate level. The course covers fundamental concepts in chemistry, including chemical bonding, thermochemistry, and acid-base chemistry. The topic of chemical bonding covers various types of chemical bonds such as ionic, covalent and metallic bonds. The course discusses the nature of chemical bonds and how they are formed and broken. It also explains the electronic structure of atoms and how it relates to chemical bonding. Thermochemistry is the study of the heat energy involved in chemical reactions and changes of physical state. The course covers the concepts of thermodynamics and thermochemistry and how they are used to predict the direction and amount of heat flow during chemical reactions. Acid-base chemistry is the study of acids and bases and their reactions. The course covers the concepts of acids and bases, including the bronsted- Lowry and lewis definitions, and how they are used to predict the direction of acid-base reactions.
