3. Summary of Lecture

  In this lecture on General Chemistry I, key topics include atomic structure, the periodic table, and chemical bonds(ionic, covalent, metallic). It covers chemical reactions, equation balancing, states of matter, and transitions like melting and freezing. The lecture also explores solutions and mixtures, acids, bases, and the pH scale, concluding with an introduction to thermodynamcis and quantum chemistry, focusing on energy in reactions and electron orbitals. This comprehensive overview lays the grounwork for understanding chemistry's fundamental principles and applications.  

  

4. Material for Teaching:

  o Petrucci's General Chemistry: Principles and Modern Applications. 12 ed, Petrucci/Herring/Madura/Bissonnette, Pearson Education

  o Lecture materials will be provided through the KLMS website of each class

      (https://klms.kaist.ac.kr)

 

5. General Guidelines

  All basics lecture notes can be downloaded at the General Chemistry Website: http://www.gencheminkaist.pe.kr.

 

  1) Practice Sessions led by TAs are scheduled from  8:00 to 8:50 pm  on Mondays. These sessions are optional, providing an apportunity for students who seek additional discussion and problem solving to participate.

 

  2) The grading system will be determined  based on the total scores achieved by students. The distribution of A grades (including A+, A0, and A-) will be less than 50% of the total class.

 

         To earn credit for the course, students must obtain a minimum score of 50 points. If a student's score falls below 50 points, they will receive an F grade.

    The breakdown of points is as follows:

      I. Mid-term Exam: 32 points

      II. Final Exam: 32 points

      III. Homework: 18 points

           - Chapter summary: 9 points ( 0.6 points for each chapter, maximum of 3 pages)

           - Chapter problem: 9 points (0.6 points for each chapter)

      IV. Attendance & Attitude: 18 points

           - Maximum of 18 points ( 1 point for each attendance of lectures and practice sessions)

      V. Plagiarism of Homework

           - First instance: warning with a dedeuction of 10 point, second instance: F grade
