 CLASSROOM POLICIES

1. Classroom Behavior. Students are reminded of the rules pertaining to

student discipline under the USM Revised Student Handbook. To maintain
a high standard and conducive learning environment in the classroom or
laboratory, students who are disruptive, rude, or show unacceptable
behavior either to the instructor or other students, will be asked to leave.

2. Attendance. Attendance will be regularly checked.

3. Tardiness. Rules pertaining to tardiness under the USM Revised Student

Handbook will be strictly followed.

4. Absences. Absences will only be excused if with valid reasons. If due to

medical reasons, a medical certificate should be presented.

 CLASSROOM POLICIES
5. Failure to complete or take a laboratory exercise, quiz, or exam will result in a
grade of zero unless a valid medical or compassionate reason has been
approved and an exemption has been granted.

a. If a laboratory exercise is missed for a valid reason, the grade for the lab
component will be re-weighed such that the grade will be based on the other
labs. There will be no special or make-up labs.
b. If a quiz is missed for a valid reason, the grade for the quiz component will be
re-weighed such that the grade will be based on the other quizzes. There will be
no make-up quizzes.
c. If an exam is missed for a valid reason, approach the instructor for a make-up
exam.

6. Use of electronic devices. Students are not allowed to use mobile phones nor
laptops during class discussions.

 Matter

solid liquid gas

Chemistry for Engineers | Gonzaga 11

 States of Matter

Gas Fills a container, taking on the shape of the container.

Similar to a liquid, except that particles are very widely spaced
from one another, and interparticle interactions are minimal.

Liquid Does not fill a container, but takes on the shape of the
container. Similar to gases, except particles are very closely
spaced.

Solid Does not fill a container, and do not conform to the

shape of the container. Particles are very closely packed – still
much dynamic motion in a solid, which increases with heating.

 Physical vs Chemical Properties

Physical Properties
No change in composition takes place during the
determination or measurement of these properties.

Chemical Properties
A change in composition occurs during the
determination or measurement of these properties.

Chemistry for Engineers | Gonzaga 13

 Extensive vs Intensive Properties

Extensive Properties
These are dependent on the amount of matter or
substance.

Intensive Properties
These are independent on the amount of matter or
substance.

 Elements and the Periodic Table

Chemistry for Engineers | Gonzaga 18

 Pure Substances

Pure substances are composed of one component.

• Elements – made up of one kind of atoms

• Compounds – made up of 2 or more atoms

Chemistry for Engineers | Gonzaga 19

 Mixtures

• Homogeneous mixtures – consists of two or more

substances that has uniform properties throughout
• One phase

• Heterogeneous mixtures – consists of distinct regions

having different properties
• Two or more phases
