At the completion of this course, the student will be able to:

• Describe chemical attraction, valence, and radicals
• Describe synthesis of a compound and decomposition of a compound and factor which affect synthesis
• Explain relative activity of elements
• Predict the action of a catalyst, and how solutions and solvents work
• Demonstrate this knowledge on a fill-in-the blank final exam
