We are currently using "Introductory Chemistry," Third edition by Nivaldo Tro. I am currently updating the lecture notes to match the new text so some discrepancies may exist between the notes shown below and material in the book. We cover the first 17 chapters of the book. The lectures use the PowerPoint presentations available below. For those wishing to preview the lecture material or review it later, notes are available in two forms. The first version is the same as that used in class and is viewable within Internet Explorer; it cannot be downloaded to your own computer and PowerPoint is not required to view these files. However, because of difficulties experienced viewing these presentations over slow (dial-up) connections, stripped down versions with fewer graphics and features are offered in .ppt format for downloading to the user's computer. For those wanting printed notes or outlines, these stripped .ppt versions can be printed using PowerPoint. If you don't have PowerPoint at home, you can print them in the library or computing centre for a small fee per page. Please note that the availability of the notes online should not be regarded as a substitute for attending class and listening to the lectures. PowerPoint slides by their nature contain minimal content but focus on key words and concepts that require additional material to make meaningful. |

Suggested problems from each chapter are provided for homework. These problems do not count towards the final grade but it is strongly recommended that they are done since they will provide excellent practice for the kinds of problems that will appear on the exams. | |
