AIMS & OBJECTIVES

CHM 202, General Chemistry II is a continuation of a year -long course in general chemistry.
The purpose of the general chemistry sequence, CHM 201 and CHM 202, is to provide students
who are science and pre-engineering majors with a solid foundation in the principles of chemistry.
The principles studied in this sequence will be necessary in more advanced courses in chemistry
such as organic chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry and analytical
chemistry. Behind these principles lay the foundation for almost all biological processes and
hence a thorough understanding of them is necessary for both basic and advanced studies of the
biological and health science.

MARK SCHEME
Lecture Exams [best 3 of 4] 60%

Final Cumulative Exam 40%

NOTES
You must take the textbook to the lectures, and you must be on time for all classes. You must
keep quiet during lectures and examinations. However you are encouraged to ask questions
during lectures and lab talks.
Eating in the classroom is not allowed. Cell phones and pagers etc must be turned off during
exams, lectures, and labs.
There will be four lecture examinations. These will be given during lecture periods. You are
required to do all the exams, including the final examination. If you miss an exam, that will be
the exam that is dropped. The next exam you miss you will get a grade of zero.
THERE WILL BE NO MAKEUP EXAMS, EVEN IF THERE IS A DEATH IN THE FAMILY OR
YOU HAD A STROKE OR A HEART ATTACK, ETC.
