This is the official website of the 2003 CHEM 102/105 lecture series (section H1) at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.
This is the end. The winter 2003 session of Chem 102/105 section H1 is officially closed. I will no longer be responding to email. Have a great summer everyone. Unofficial final exam and overall course grades are now posted on the notice board outside W3-60. The final exam average is 54.6 % and the overall 9-point grade average is 5.98. Notices

April 10th: Breathe easy!
The final exam will NOT cover optical isomers (chirality).
-
April 1st: Transition Metals and Coordination Chemistry
This is not a joke: Make sure that you read "The first row transition metals" (Section 20.2) in Zumdahl.
-
March 30th: Transition Metals and Coordination Chemistry
All new textbook sections for your reading pleasure
The transition metals: a survey (20.1, 20.2)
Coordination compounds (20.3)
Isomers (20.4)

March 12th: Midterm exam regrades
- I have realised that question 5(c) in midterm "A" and equivalent question 6(c) in midterm "B" cannot be answered after the fashion I was intending because of an error in the questions themselves. So, I have decided to give everyone a bonus 2 marks. Please disregard the posted solutions to these questions.
- Because I have not been able to post the midterm worked solutions and answer key until today, I have extended the request for regrades period to Monday, March 17th at noon. I will not accept regrade requests after this time.

January 30th: Lost and Found
A personal electronic device was found in E1-60 following Thursday's lecture. If you have lost something of value, please see me to recover it.
-
January 14th : Midterm exam
The midterm exam has been postponed to Thursday, March 6th.
-
January 11th : Lecture notes
Notes will be made available on this site following each lecture. Both PDF and HTML formats will be accessible. The PDF files will be reduced replicas of the overhead slides used in the lectures. The HTML files will summarise all of lecture material in a form suitable for viewing on the web, i.e., as a concise hyperlinked companion to the course.
