2Nd Term Gen Chem (Intensive) · Chemistry
I learned the foundations of kinematics, thermodynamics, and basic nuclear chemistry. All the foundations of every single aspect of chemistry.
I learned about important applications in Chem - specifically NMR spectroscopy, which was really interesting!
The basics of chemistry: thermochemistry, electrochemistry, chemical equilibrium, chemical kinetics, etc.
A solid grasp of the advanced basics of molecules
self teaching skills; learning from textbook and doing exercises.
Thermodynamics, Electromagnetic Chem, Kinetics, Spectroscopy.
The content covered in intensive general chemistry is fairly reasonable in itself, with some of the most important concepts from second-semester general chemistry being focused on.
- second half of chemistry, lots of spectroscopy
Most of the topics covered in this course are also covered in AP Chemistry, but I feel that I've gained a better understanding of a lot of these concepts. Professor Min makes an effort to go out of his way to explain the application of rather abstract concepts like Gibb's Free Energy and enthalpy, and he tries to tie together the three big topics this class covers (electronic structure, thermodynamics, and chemical kinetics) He genuinely seems excited about Chemistry and wants his students to be as well.
I learned the basic elements of chemistry, including topics such as thermodynamics, bonding, kinetics, etc
