Welcome to the Chemistry 104 website! The purpose of this course is to learn chemistry in the context of its real-world applications. Among many other topics, atomic structure will be taught in the context of how electromagnetic radiation can both induce and cure cancer. Other issues related to atomic structure and radiation, such as the dangers of radon exposure and how nuclear fusion works, will also be covered. Polymers will be introduced through discussions of your everyday plastics and proteins, so that you can see the varied nature and composition of polymers, and also how prevalent they are. The concepts of interaction of light with matter and free radicals will be taught with discussions relating to atmospheric pollution and UV radiation.”Anything worth doing is worth doing well.” In Chemistry 108 we know that, if you put in the required time and effort, then you will have a worthwhile learning experience. Whether you are a doctor, nurse, scientist, journalist, or politician, there is always one constant theme: teamwork. You will find that prominent figures in all areas of life will always have an incredible supporting staff. Chemistry 108 is no different. Use your peers as your support. We encourage you to build on each other’s knowledge and strengths by getting together to help understand difficult concepts and to work on textbook problems. So, to find out more about Chemistry 108, please explore this website. Thanks for visiting!
