The links shown on the left will take you to the available content areas in the Introductory Chemistry site.
The lecture slides are images taken from the PowerPoint slides and they are arranged in a "stack" that allows easy viewing in order to review the content. These images are not designed for printing!
The exam review slides are from the PowerPoint slides that we typically go through prior to each of the exams. Many of the questions on these slides resemble actual archived exam questions.
The microtutorials are short movies that focus on a single topic (Elements & Isotopes, Significant Figures, etc.). These are useful for review or as content in the "Flipped Classroom".
The textbook link will take you to an online version of the text, Introductory Chemistry Online. These are images from the text and again, they are designed for online viewing and review, but not for printing.
The answers to the problems at the end of the chapters in the text are collected in the chapter answer link. These are "answers only"… please see the text for the complete questions.
The Tutorial link takes you to a set of algorithmic tutorials and exercises that deal with many of the central concepts in the course. In general, you will receive a unique problem every time you work one of these. Once you have attempted answering the problem, you can check your work with the Show Answer button. You should spend a good deal of your online time working these problems; they are a good source of questions for chemistry quizzes and for hour exams.

Organic reactions are kind of like carefully choreographed fight scenes, and nucleophilic attack is a key move. This episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry is all about nucleophiles and electrophiles, or what happens at those molecular hot spots we’ve been talking about. We’ll also learn about what IR spectra can tell us about reactions, and how cyanide is more than just a poison from mystery stories. Let’s get to it organophiles!

These learning activities are designed to be used in a large introductory chemistry course, each as part of a larger module of learning activities that include a prior reading of a short background information document. By working in small groups to discuss the presented information and question prompts, students will apply concepts seen in earlier coursework to explore a topic of societal or environmental relevance. No new conceptual information is delivered in these activities; rather they provide an opportunity to show students how the chemistry concepts they have developed support a detailed scientific understanding of a significant issue.Instructional resources for each activity  include 1) background information (.docx and .pdf) 2) the learning activity (.docx and .pdf) 3) the learning objects (.docx and .pdf) and 4) the slide deck (.pptx).These activities include exploration of:Methyl Transferase EnzymesNitrogen CycleOzone and Chlorofluorocarbons Mechanism of Penicillin Interior Salish Pit Cooking

The properties of Water is discussed in this unit, as well as the methods of Wastewater treament  and the Water cycle.

Last week, Hank talked about how stuff mixes together in solutions. Today, and for the next few weeks, he will talk about the actual reactions happening in those solutions - atoms reorganizing themselves to create whole new substances in the processes that make our world the one we know and love. This week, we focus on acids and bases and their proton-exchanging ways.

Chapters:
Chemistry Can Cause Death
Acids and Bases are Complicated
Conjugate Bases
Conjugate Acids

General Chemistry I Honors Laboratory Manual (2023) is an eTextbook designed to provide a practical, hands-on approach to learning chemistry for students taking General Chemistry I Honors courses. The manual covers fundamental principles of chemistry, including atomic structure, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, gas laws, and thermodynamics. The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a specific topic. Each experiment in the manual is accompanied by step-by-step instructions, pre-lab questions, and post-lab questions, helping students to develop their analytical and problem-solving skills.

Energy is like the bestest best friend ever and yet, most of the time we take it for granted. Hank feels bad for our friend and wants us to learn more about it so that we can understand what it's trying to tell us - like that any bond between two atoms contains energy. How much energy? That's not the simplest question to answer, but today Hank will answer it (kinda), by teaching us about a nifty little thing called enthalpy.

If you are paying attention to this episode you'll learn what the state function is, and how it varies from a path-dependent function; why enthalpy change is different from heat; that bonds are energy and to form and break them they release and absorb heat to and from their environment. You'll get the quickest introduction to calorimetry ever (more on that in upcoming episodes) and learn the power of Hess's Law and how to use Germain Hess's concept of the standard enthalpy of formation to calculate exactly how much heat is produced by any chemical reaction.

Chapters:
State Function
Path-Dependent Function
Enthalpy
Bonds are Energy
Colorimetry
Hess' Law
Standard Enthalpy of Formation

Organic chemistry is a great workout for your brain, and to keep its energy up, your brain needs glucose. To maintain blood glucose levels, our bodies go through a process called gluconeogenesis, which involves the important type of organic reaction we’re getting into today: aldol reactions! In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we’ll learn what an aldol is, as well as how aldol reactions work and what they do. Plus we’ll learn about a similar reaction, Claisen condensation.

Carbon-carbon double bonds are pretty common in nature, but triple bonds between carbons, called alkynes, are not. When alkynes do pop up in nature, it’s usually in a compound that’s toxic to humans, however, we can synthesize alkynes that are life saving medicines and materials. In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we’ll learn about alkynes and some of the reactions we can use them in (hint: it’s a lot of the same reactions we used for alkenes!)

It’s time for molecular analysis! On this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we’re learning about mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy through the lens of a forensic investigation. Put on your lab coats, and let’s solve this mystery!

This collection of videos, animations and documents comes from the NCSSM AP chemistry online course. Chapter five provides practice and demonstrations related to moles, molarity, and reaction types in chemistry.

Like a trendy dance, a fighting combo, or a secret handshake, organic reactions can be broken down into simpler steps. In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we’ll specifically be looking at alkene addition reactions, and with each new reaction ask ourselves three questions to help us puzzle through the mechanism and understand what’s going on.
