CHM 201 - General Chemistry I

Min Credits: 5 Max Credits: 1 recitation

This is the first part of a two-semester program for technically-oriented students needing a solid foundation in general chemistry. Topics covered include an in-depth treatment of measurement, atomic and molecular structures, ionic behavior in solutions, and inorganic chemical nomenclature. Also, the types of chemical reactions (including acid-base and oxidation reduction) are reviewed, along with stoichiometric principles, the behavior of gases and thermochemistry. Additional topics covered include electronic structure, periodic law, chemical bonding and molecular geometry. Lab work reinforces basic principles, supplements lectures and emphasizes analytical techniques. Transfer Assurance Guide (TAG) approved effective summer fall 2009 (OSC008 - General Chemistry I).
