CHEM090M: Foundations of Chemistry

Theory Hours 2 Lab Hours 2 Credits 3

This high school level course in chemistry examines the structure of matter and the nature of chemical reactions. Lab activities will be included to help reinforce theory classes. The course helps to prepare students for college-level sciences. These credits are institutional only and do not count toward graduation.

CHEM140M: General Chemistry I

Theory Hours 3 Lab Hours 3 Credits 4

General Chemistry I 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 components of 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.

CHEM141M: General Chemistry II

Theory Hours 3 Lab Hours 3 Credits 4

General Chemistry II designed to introduce the student to 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. Principles taught in lectures will be reinforced in laboratory experiments.
