The purpose of the recitation section is for you to go over homeworkproblems, ask questions, take quizzes, meet other students, organize studygroups, prepare for the exams.If you are not registered for one of these sections, you are not registered for thiscourse and you will not receive a grade. Please see your TA if you are notregistered for one of the listed recitation sections.Diagnostic exam this week. Recitations next week.This standardized national examination will not be used in computing the termgrade. However, an exceptional score might decide a borderline computation inyour favor.If you have not taken the diagnostic exam please contact Socky Logo([email protected]). She’ll give you instructions on how to be assigned a timeand place to take the exam.4EXAM SCHEDULEExam 1 Wednesday September 28Exam 2 Wednesday November 2Exam 3 Wednesday November 30Final Exam: Scheduled by the registrar (not me)Grade will be based on 5 class exam equivalents. A maximum of500 points (plus a few extra points). See syllabus for details.There are no makeup exams. If you miss an exam, that one will bedropped. If you miss more than one exam you will not receive agrade for the course.5Tentative coverage of Text: Oxtoby, Freeman and Block, Chemistry: Science of ChangeChapters1.

The BIG bang!14Chemistry is about matter and light, their interactionsand transformations.All of which was created by the “Big Bang” about 10billion year ago.As the result of the Big Bang, the atoms of the elementscontained in the Periodic Table were produced.Understanding the underlying intellectual structure ofthe Periodic Table is an important goal of this course.So, let take a look at a preview of coming attractions forthe
