Chemistry covers the composition of matter and the changes it undergoes. Topics include: atomic and molecular theory, periodicity, chemical bonding, states of matter, conservation laws, stoichiometry, gases and solutions, acids & bases, thermodynamics, chemical kinetics and equilibria, organic chemistry, nuclear and electrochemistry. Individual lab experiments are used to illustrate the principles studied.
