A word of warning

These notes are intended only as a supplement to your own. They are in no way meant to replace your own notes, or to enable you to skip the lectures. What I provide here are outlines that I have probably augmented in class. For example, I will often show illustrations from the text during the lectures and annotate them by hand. I cannot include those here because of copyright restrictions. In addition, the problems I work through during the class may or may not be made available here.

Lecture 1 (January 7th and 9th)

(Gases, the ideal gas law, units of pressure, temperature and volume and unit conversions, Dalton's law of partial pressures, kinetic molecular theory)

Lecture 2 (January 9th and 14th)

(Real gases and the van der Waals equation, intermolecular forces, dipole moments, electronegativities, London dispersion forces)

Lecture 3 (January 14th and 16th)

(Liquids, surface tension, capillary action, adhesive and cohesive forces, viscosity, hydrogen bonding)

Lecture 4 (January 16th and 18th)

(Solids, solid classifications, lattices, asymmetric units, unit cells, simple, body-centred and face-centred cubic cells, metals, hexagonal closest packing, cubic closest packing, ionic solids, Braggs law)

Lecture 5 (January 21st and 23rd)

(Network atomic solids, diamond, graphite, silica, changes of state, vapour pressure, heating curves, superheating, supercooling, boiling point, melting point)

Lecture 6 (January 23rd)

(Solutions, solvents, solutes, dissolution, solubility, solubility product, electrolytes)
