General Chemistry – Full University Course

This general chemistry course provides a comprehensive overview of chemistry's fundamental principles. It begins by defining matter, classifying its phases (solid, liquid, gas), and differentiating between elements and compounds. The course distinguishes pure substances from mixtures, further categorizing mixtures as homogeneous or heterogeneous, and clarifies chemical versus physical properties, including intensive and extensive properties. It also introduces scientific notation and significant figures, emphasizing their importance in scientific measurements and calculations. The course explains the differences between precision and accuracy. Conversions within the metric system, temperature scales, and the concept of density are also addressed. The course will also discuss atomic structure, periodic trends, chemical bonding, molecular geometry, and gas laws.
