Objectives:
General Chemistry 222 uses the molecular kinetic theory to examine the behavior of solids, liquids, gases and solutions. Chemical reactions and other phenomena are reexamined in terms of energy and randomness that result from the formation of molecular and intermolecular bonds. The lab consists of exercises that illustrate the behavior of atoms and molecules in gas, liquid, and solid form.

Attendance Policy:
Regular attendance is incredibly important. To receive full credit, the instructor needs to be notified of pre-arranged excused absences (field trips, athletic events, etc.) in a timely manner so that arrangements for work can be made before the absence. Students with absences due to appropriate unplanned events (illness, etc.) will be made up as soon as possible at the instructor's discretion. Chronic absences may result in the loss of opportunities to make up missed work.

Grading Policy:
Grades will be determined on a percentage basis (e.g. 100 - 90% = A, 89 - 80% = B, etc.). While absolute percentages for grades may vary slightly from that above, it should be assumed that assigned grades will not deviate much from a 90, 80, 70, 60% grading scale.

Homework Assignments:
Working problems is the best way to learn chemistry. Homework problems will be assigned for each chapter. Assignments will be collected and checked on dates given throughout the course. The instructor will briefly review each students' work to look to see of the homework is complete and well-organized.

Labs:
The purpose, procedure, and diagram of equipment used in the lab must be summarized before beginning laboratory work. Data tables, calculations, questions, and a brief conclusion will be added to finish the write-up.
