CHEM 1000 Lecture Notes (Findlay)

These are the my CHEM 1000 lecture notes from Fall 2020 (the semester in which I recorded the videos).

They are skeleton notes; it is intended that you fill them in when you attend class (or watch the videos in online offerings). 

The numbering system used is based on three 50 minute lectures per week. For a 2×75 minute class, treat each class as one-and-a-half lectures long.
