CHEM& 142 - General Chemistry II

4 Credits
Continuation of CHEM& 141. Topics covered will include molecular bonding and structure, liquids and solids, equilibrium, and principles of thermodynamics. Laboratory emphasizes quantitative techniques. Prerequisite: CHEM& 141 and MATH& 141 with grades of 2.0 or equivalent.

Course-level Learning Objectives (CLOs)
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

Construct the electron configuration, orbital diagram, and/or valence shell configuration for any element in the periodic table. [REASON]
Use trends in periodic properties (i.e., atomic size, electron affinity, ionization energy, and electronegativity) to predict chemical and or physical properties of the elements. [REASON]
Construct a Lewis structure for an ionic or covalent compound, including compounds with expanded octet configurations. [REASON ]
Predict the 3D shape and polarity of a covalently bonded molecule using VSEPR. [REASON]
Calculate the concentration of a solution in various units. [REASON]
Carry out calculations involving the colligative properties of solutions. [REASON]
Use critical thinking to make connections and associations between chemical principles. [REASON]
