CHM 100: Board notes from 6/2/09

Here ate today’s CHM 100 notes.  These notes cover conservation of mass (from Chapter 3), and some Chapter 4 topics:  Dalton’s atomic theory, the nuclear model of the atom, atomic terms, kinds of elements (metals/nonmetals/metalloids) , and the periodic table.

CHM 100: Board notes for 5/28/09

Here are today’s CHM 100 notes.  These notes cover scientific notation, the kinetic picture of matter, phases and phase changes, chemical/physical properties and changes, mixtures/pure substances, and conservation of mass.  (Conservation of mass will be discussed in the next class period, but I pit it here so all the chapter three stuff would be in one place.)

CHM 100: Board notes for 5/21/09

Here are the notes for today’s CHM 100 class.  These notes start with density – its units and how to measure it.

The notes also cover dimensional analysis (aka the “drag-and-drop” method) and its use for metric unit conversions – along with example problems.

The last page introduces the definitions of accuracy and precision for measured numbers.
