Text
Two-volume set consisting of (1) a custom edition of Chemistry: Principles, Patterns, and Applications, 1st Edition, by Bruce Averill and Patricia Eldredge, Pearson, San Francisco, 2007, (ISBN 10: 0-558-34563-8), 2009 and (2) selected readings from other Pearson and Prentice Hall texts compiled under the title Introduction to Solid-State Chemistry published by Pearson Custom Publishing (ISBN 10: 0-558-36407-1), 2009. texts.
Homework Weekly. Posted along with model solutions at the website. One week later, in recitation, students will take a 10-minute quiz based on the subject matter of the homework. The scores on these weekly quizzes will count as the homework portion of the cumulative grade in the subject. All scores count -- no dropping of lowest score(s) from the average.

Academic Honesty
It is expected that students in 3.091 will maintain the highest standards of academic honesty. In particular, it is expected that while taking a test or examination, students will not (1) accept information of any kind from others; (2) represent as their own the work of anyone else; or (3) use aids to memory other than those expressly permitted by the examiner. Following a test or examination, students will not try to deceive the teaching staff by misrepresenting or altering their previous work in order to improve their score. Please consult http://web.mit.edu/academicintegrity/. Departures from the above standards are contrary to fundamental principles of MIT and of the scientific community at large. Such departures are considered serious offenses for which disciplinary penalties, including suspension and expulsion, can be imposed by the Institute.
Classroom Behavior
To maintain a fertile learning environment in a lecture theater seating in excess of 400 people, it is necessary for the instructor to expect adherence to certain rules of conduct. During lecture, students may not hold conversations;
consume food or drink;
engage in disruptive behavior.
Wireless communications devices must be silenced.

* Chemical methods of separation include electrolysis. Matter Occupies space and possesses mass; may exist as solid, liquid, or gas occurs in nature as Pure substance Matter having an invariant chemical composition and distinct properties
Mixture Matter consisting of two or more pure substances that retain their individual identities and can be separated by physical methods may be Homogeneous Mixture having a uniform composition and properties throughout (also called a solution) Heterogeneous Mixture not uniform in composition and properties throughout
may be Element Fundamental substance; cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical methods Compound Substance composed of two or more elements in fixed proportions; can be separated into simpler substances and elements only by chemical methods*
