CHEM 1118 Honors Modern Chemistry II
This is the second part of a one-year course that serves as the Honors alternative to the two-semester General Chemistry CHEM1109-1110. This course will build upon the chemical fundamentals that were covered in the first semester to introduce organic chemistry as well as its physical basis. Topics to be covered include the structure and reactivity of organic compounds.
