Chemistry for Science Majors I
Lectures

Back
Please note that High School Chemistry (or a suitable equivalent chemistry course) is a prerequisite for this course. The unit below, I-00 Pre-College Chemistry, provides the information that you will be expected to have already had. Review the unit if necessary, or take Sample Test I-00 (which includes questions about the basic math skills described in the Math Check section of the Lecture Manual) to see if you have the necessary skills to succeed in Chemistry for Science Majors I.

I-00 Pre-College Chemistry                      Sample Test I-00

I-02 Formulas and Nomenclature

I-03 The Mole

I-04 Chemical Equations 

I-05 Bonding

I-06 Gas Laws

I-07 Nuclear Chemistry

I-08 Thermochemistry

Dimensional Analysis

Scientific Notation

Below are some other programs of interest that you can download and run. Please note that these programs must be run under the Windows operating system. Because they are large files, downloading may take a while (5 to 10 minutes per 1000 KB, depending on your modem and Internet traffic) if you have a telephone connection to the Internet.

Flow Charts How to do better in Lab by creating flow charts (520 KB)

PCUse For those not familiar with the use of computers (1440 KB)

Scott's Math Practice basic math skills(45 KB)

Find the Pairs Practice your metric system or elemental symbols skills with a memory game. (93 KB) Special Note: This file is NOT the Find the Pairs program. It is a special self-extracting ZIP file which contains the Find the Pairs program and the other files that go with it. I suggest that you download this file, find.exe, to it's own folder. Then double click on find.exe in the folder to allow it to extract all of its files. You can then double click on the program file (00find~1.exe) to run the program.

If you are interested in Astronomy or in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), you might want to check my Physical Sciences page for a couple of other interesting programs. Or click HERE to read about and see some pictures of the arrival at the University of Miami, which I witnessed, of some of the lunar material from the first manned landing on the moon.
