CHM1742 consists of selected topics in physical, inorganic, organic and analytical chemistry which are relevant to such programs while still providing a traditional first level chemistry course for students intending to major in chemistry. Laboratory exercises are used to extend theoretical understanding as well as develop practical skills.
