Credits: 4

This is an introduction to the basic concepts of chemistry. Major topics will include the measurements of matter, stoichiometry, reactions in aqueous solutions, electronic structure, bonds thermochemistry, rates of reaction, and gases, solids and liquids. The course will emphasize applications to “real world” problems. Laboratories are designed to allow the student to visualize the important concepts introduced in lecture and to increase student understanding of the scientific process. There will be three hours of lecture and three hours of lab each week.
