CHM - 166 General Chemistry I

(5 s.h.)

Prerequisite: MAT - 092 Intermediate Algebra or equivalent and CHM - 110 Introduction to Chemistry or 1 year of high school chemistry with a grade of C or higher or by instructor permission.
CHM-166 is the first semester of a 2-semester sequence in general chemistry designed for those students needing a more rigorous background in chemistry for taking more advanced courses. This course will enable the student to apply the basic principles, laws, and theories of physical science, designed to give the student a better understanding of various aspects of modern chemistry, including an understanding of atomic structure, stoichiometry, chemical bonding, properties of gases, liquids, and solids, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics. This course is designed for students of chemistry, biological science, pre-pharmacy, pre-veterinary, pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, etc. The student will also apply the scientific method in the laboratory to stress the nature of scientific thinking, experimentation, data handling, and problem solving. This course includes three hours of lecture and four hours of laboratory per week.
