Introductory Chemistry

Catalog description

A one-semester introduction to the theories and problem-solving skills foundational to the science of chemistry. Topics critical to the general chemistry sequence are introduced at a more manageable pace, and with more background. Topics include the scientific method, measurements, calculations, stoichiometry, matter, energy, the periodic table, atomic theory, chemical nomenclature, ionic and covalent bonding, chemical reactions, and thermodynamics. Recommended as an entry-level course for those who lack significant preparation in chemistry and/or mathematics.
