CHEM110N: Chemistry for Health Sciences

This introductory chemistry course provides students with conceptual and hands-on experience with fundamental principles of chemicals. Included are topics in atomic structure, chemical bonding, periodic table, solutions, medication math calculations, gas laws, acid-base and reduction/oxidation reactions, chemical equilibrium, thermodynamics, and an introduction to organic and biochemistry as it pertains to the cell. This course does not fulfill the requirements of CHEM130N & CHEM131N or Organic Chemistry I & II.

CHEM130N: General Chemistry I

This chemistry course introduces the student to the principles of chemistry included in the first semester of a two-semester chemistry course. The course will include topics such as matter, stoichiometry, chemical reactions, gas and kinetic-molecular theory, thermochemistry, quantum theory and atomic structure, chemical periodicity, chemical bonding, and molecular geometry. Principles taught in lectures will be reinforced in laboratory experiments.

CHEM131N: General Chemistry II

This general chemistry course is designed to teach students the principles of chemistry included in the second semester of a two semester chemistry course. This course will include topics such as intermolecular forces, properties of solutions, kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acid-base equilibrium, electrochemistry, and thermodynamics.

CHEM136N: General Chemistry I with Forensic Applications

This Honors chemistry course introduces the student to the principles of chemistry included in the first semester of a two-semester chemistry course as they apply to forensic problems. The course will include topics such as matter, stoichiometry, chemical reactions, gas and kinetic-molecular theory, thermochemistry, quantum theory and atomic structure, chemical periodicity, chemical bonding, and molecular geometry. Principles taught in lectures will be reinforced in laboratory experiments.
