Chemistry I: Lecture ((3 Credits))

Catalog description

Chemistry I is the first course of a two-term sequence in general chemistry for science concentrations. This three-credit course covers the lecture and not the laboratory component of the sequence, which is offered as a separate course. Students will learn the basic chemical principles behind chemical reactions. They will study the models used to describe atoms and molecules and the chemical bonds that form between them. Students will learn to predict, write, and balance chemical reactions. Other topics will include exchange of heat (energy) and characteristic behaviors of gases, liquids and solids. Notes: This lecture course complements the lab component covered in Chemistry I Laboratory, but it is not a co-requisite to the lab.
