CHEM 11 General Chemistry
CHEM 11 is a one-term general chemistry course for students with a background in chemistry. The course includes topics from thermodynamics and electrochemistry, reaction kinetics, quantum mechanics, and bonding, complementing material emphasized in high school Advanced Placement courses. Laboratory work will emphasize physicochemical measurements and quantitative analysis. Students with a score of 4 or 5 on the AP Chemistry examination (or 6 or 7 on the IB exam, or A-level credit) will be placed into CHEM 11; all other students interested in general chemistry will take a placement examination to determine their assignment either into CHEM 11 or CHEM 5. Students who complete Chemistry 11 will also be granted credit on entrance for Chemistry 5. Not open to students who have received credit for CHEM 010, CHEM 005, or CHEM 006.
