CHEM 105 General Chemistry I

This course is an introduction to the study of the material world from the perspective of molecules, atoms, and electrons. Students will demonstrate an understanding of atomic and molecular structure, stoichiometry, nomenclature, chemical bonding, chemical reactions (acid-base, solubility, and oxidation- reduction), introductory thermodynamics, the periodic table, gas laws, intermolecular forces, and states of matter. In the laboratory, students will demonstrate good lab technique, and gather and interpret experimental data that reinforces the topics of the course. Prerequisites: High school chemistry and satisfactory performance on a chemistry readiness assessment given at the beginning of the term, or high school chemistry and successful completion of CHEM 101 with a grade of C or higher.
