Course Guide: General Chemistry 2/3

This document is a course guide for the second of three courses in the college-level general chemistry series. I attend a school with a quarter system, meaning I took the series in three parts. If you go to a school with the semester system, consider looking at the third part of this series to see what your class has covered.

Since I struggled in the class, I wanted to make sure that other people don’t have to do the same! Having now completed the entire series and done research on how to better explain concepts that I had trouble with, I have created course guides for each section that should help you get through it.

If you haven’t yet checked out the first part of the series, I encourage you to do so because it is an important foundation for some of the concepts covered in this section in the series.

This document is a course guide, not a cheat sheet or cram session study guide. While it may seem long, it has explanations for all the concepts I covered in the second course in the series and some practice problems that walk the reader through each step in solving them. While this should be a great resource, remember that your class may cover slightly more or less information or in a different order. Nevertheless, this should generally cover most of the second third of the chemistry series, regardless of your school.

Make the most of this resource and study hard! I hope you don’t have to struggle the same way I did (because it was NOT fun.)

Best of luck!
