Course description: General Chemistry (CHE101) is a one semester course designed to teach the students to the systematic treatment of
fundamental chemical and physical principles and their applications to the properties and transformations of materials, including the concept
of energy and its uses, gas laws, kinetic molecular theory, laws of chemical combination, atomic and molecular structure, periodic classification
of the elements, chemical bonding, and introductory organic chemistry.

Learning outcomes: After completing General Chemistry (CHE101), students will be able to:
1. Perform calculations involving chemical and physical processes, use the dimensional analysis method, record numerical answers with
proper units, and attain proficiency in the proper use of scientific notation and significant figures, including the concept of
uncertainty in scientific measurements. (Chapter 1 & Quiz 1)
2. Name ions and compounds, write their chemical formulas, calculate their molar masses and percent composition, and determine the
empirical and molecular formulas of compounds. (Chapter 2 & Quiz 2)
3. Describe the atomic and electronic structure of the elements. (Chapter 7 & Quiz 3)
4. Predict the relative magnitudes of physical properties of elements based on their electronic structures. (Chapter 8 & Quiz 4)
5. Determine the structures, shapes, and polarity of compounds/organic compounds. (Chapter 9 & 10 & Mid)
6. Describe properties of real and ideal gases using the Kinetic Molecular Theory and solve gas law problems. (Chapter 5 & Quiz 5)
7. Complete and balance chemical equations, determine whether a reaction occurs based on chemical and physical properties of the
reactants and products, and solve stoichiometry problems. (Chapter 3 & Final)
8. Classify substances, reactions, and processes according to various classification schemes. (Chapter 4 & Final)
9. Describe and calculate the energy changes involved in chemical reactions and physical processes. (Chapter 6 & Final)
Class Rules:
1. Bring the following items to every class: Notebook, Calculator, Periodic table, Textbook.
2. No make-up quiz will be taken, and no incomplete grade (I) will be given.
3. Make-up Mid will be taken only for considerable reasons and must be informed earlier by e-mail or via phone.

Grading: NSU grading policy: http://www.northsouth.edu/academic/grading-policy.html

Methods of assessing outcomes: The expected learning outcomes will be assessed using quizzes and/or midterm exams, and the final exam.
Marks Distribution: Attendance ………………............... 10%*
Quiz (best 3 out of 5) .......................................... 30%
Mid-Term Exam............................................ 30%
Final Exam.......................................................... 30%
Total 100%
**NB: A student having attendance less than 70% must bring a prior approval from the respective department chair to attend the exam.
Courtesy: This is a standard size class and can get noisy at times. Please respect those who want to hear by not participating in disruptive
conversation, by not allowing cell phones to ring or by making derogatory remarks to others. You will be asked to leave if others complain about
your behavior.
Student code of conduct: All students must practice academic honesty. Academic misconduct is subject to an academic penalty by the course
instructor and/or a disciplinary sanction by the University. All students must be familiar with the student conduct Code. The Code is available
for review online at: http://www.northsouth.edu/student-code-of-conduct.html.

Disclaimer: The instructor holds the right to make necessary changes to the syllabus and the grading policies outlined here to best
accommodate the interest of the class.
