Introduction. The purpose of this handout is to provide a simple model for the bonding in transition-metal complexes as a framework for understanding and interpreting the most important properties of these complexes. We shall deal mostly with the...
Handout on the grading policies for laboratory experiments in accelerated General Chemistry. It lists a number of factors which are taken into consideration when grading the laboratory reports.
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Spectroscopy, Nuclear magnetic resonance;
Experiment designed to introduce the fundamental principles and practice of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a form of NMR spectroscopy, by obtaining and examining a two-dimensional image of the stem or bud from a plant.

Comprehensive final examination without solutions for Fall 2003, involving two questions based on laboratory experiments and nine questions based on lectures.
Handout from the laboratory manual explaining curve fitting and the method of least squares. Included is a least squares exercise using Microsoft Excel.
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Homework; Problem solving; Molecules-Models; Chemical structure
Four multi-part problems dealing with molecular modeling. The exercise illustrates a range of modeling techniques used to determine the structure and function of macromolecules.
Chemistry-Study and teaching; Spectroscopy, Nuclear magnetic resonance
Experiment previously used in the course and focused on selective irradiation and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), specifically involving homonuclear decoupling and the NOE (nuclear Overhauser enhancement) difference experiment.
