The Chemistry LibreTexts library is a principal hub of the LibreTexts project, which is a multi-institutional collaborative venture to develop the next generation of open-access texts to improve postsecondary education at all levels of higher learning. The LibreTexts approach is highly collaborative where an Open Access textbook environment is under constant revision by students, faculty, and outside experts to supplant conventional paper-based books.
LibreTexts are custom developed for individual instructors/classes and schools. The Modules in the Core supplement the LibreTexts.
This book was designed for Chemistry 2000: Calculus-based class designed for students who wish to have a highly technical understanding of chemistry for application and design. In CHM 2000 you will be provided with the essential application-based background to udnerstand materials, fluids, and gases working from atomic models up to the macroscopic level. THis course will develop and broaden your understanding of the matter, energy, and physical properties. Traditional general chemistry topics will be covered in a technically detailed fashion. Additional topics will include bonding, reactions, changes of states, equilibrium, thermodynamics, elctrochemistry, kinetics, and nuclear chemistry. Practical skills will be developed such that you will be able to predict and describe in appropriate technical detail the properties of achemical system along with modern materials such as polymers and semiconductors adn with modern devices such as fuel cells and batteries.
