Welcome to the Chemistry 110H Website!
Chemistry 110H is the honors section of first-semester general chemistry. It covers the same material as Chemistry 110, but in greater depth and at a much more challenging level. The course is offered in Fall semesters only. Please check this website in late August for more details about the Fall 2008 sections of the course.
