Undergraduate

This course introduces students to the building blocks of chemistry—how atoms and molecules are structured, and how that structure affects the properties of different materials. Topics include phases of matter, intermolecular forces, electrical conductivity, and the behavior of organic materials such as polymers. In the lab, students gain hands-on experience with essential scientific techniques, including how to observe, record, and communicate experimental findings.
