  1. CHEM 1114: BASIC STUFF YOU NEED • Course Website (see also: Course Syllabus) https://web.alfredstate.edu/fongjd/GenChem1.htm • Course Syllabus (See also: Course Website) • Zumdahl Hybrid E-text • Scientific Calculator • Turning Point`clicker’

  2. You are taking Chemistry 1114 because… • I love chemistry and want to be a chemist. • My curricular program forces me to take it. • I’m a sick masochist who revels in pain. • Oops, I thought this was LITR 2603.

  3. WHYCHEMISTRY ? Your thoughts ?

  4. Can you locate the chemist’s universal obsession…..? Organic Chemist Nut case chemist Structure Chemist

  5. Molecules • You can’t see molecules directly. • You can’t measure molecules directly. • You can’t watch how molecules react. They’re just too damned small.

  6. My feelings about chemistry are best described as: • Fear and Inadequacy • Hate and Loathing • One more thing I have to do • Excited and Eager • Indifference

  7. THE “PROBLEM” WITH CHEMISTRY….. Chemists are obsessed with molecules- which is like being infatuated with car parts- but not in driving the car….

  8. The Physicist…. Albert Einstein “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

  9. The Biologist…. Jane Goodall “Words are part of our rational selves, and to abandon them for a while is to give freer reign to our intuitive selves.“

  10. The Chemist….. Roald Hoffman 1981 Nobel Chemistry Laureate Cornell University “We can seem a bit dull and tedious…”

  11. Chemistry involves imaginative, BUT deeply abstract metaphors for things we can’t know directly.

  12. WHY CHEMISTRY ? CHEMISTRY…is a 250 year old discipline that can take apart, put back together, manipulate and transform objects (molecules) which are objects we have no chance to directly see nor directly measure. Thinking Like a Chemist (TLC) is powerful
