Description
As the first of a two-semester sequence, this course teaches fundamental concepts in chemistry, including the electronic structure of atoms, chemical periodicity, nature of chemical bonds, molecular structure, the three phases of matter, etc. In addition, the application of these concepts to various chemical sub-disciplines, such as organic chemistry, biochemistry, and materials chemistry. Designed for majors in chemical sciences and engineering, it is assumed that the students are familiar with college algebra, chemical nomenclature, stoichiometry, and scientific measurements. Lab introduces students to chemistry measurements, atomic structure, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, quantum chemistry, periodic properties, atomic and electronic structures of atoms, and bonding. Prerequisite: MATH 1220, CHEM 1120C. Lab fee: $125.00
