Study CHM 101 the smart way
Sage already knows this exact syllabus — ask it anything about General Chemistry I, generate practice questions in your exam's format, and get a cram sheet that works offline.
What you'll be able to do (official learning outcomes)
define atom, molecules and chemical reactions
discuss the modern electronic theory of atoms
write electronic configurations of elements on the periodic table
rationalise the trends of atomic radii, ionisation energies, electronegativity of the elements, based on their position in the periodic table
identify and balance oxidation–reduction equation and solve redox titration problems
draw shapes of simple molecules and hybridised orbitals
identify the characteristics of acids, bases and salts, and solve problems based on their quantitative relationship
apply the principles of equilibrium to aqueous systems using Le Chatelier’s principle to predict the effect of concentration, pressure and temperature changes on equilibrium mixtures
