Chemistry

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.

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.

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.

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.
