5.111 Principles of Chemical Science

5.111 Principles of Chemical Science (Fall 2008, MIT OCW). Instructors: Prof. Catherine Drennan and Dr. Elizabeth Vogel Taylor. This course provides an introduction to the chemistry of biological, inorganic, and organic molecules. The emphasis is on basic principles of atomic and molecular electronic structure, thermodynamics, acid-base and redox equilibria, chemical kinetics, and catalysis. (from ocw.mit.edu)
