Catalog description
Students develop problem-solving skills using the factor-label method, demonstrate proficiency in the use of the metric system, perform laboratory experiments, and use computers/calculators to analyze experimental data. Students examine states of matter, properties of elements and compounds, inorganic nomenclature, atomic theory and structure, chemical bonding, quantitative chemical relationships and energy changes in chemical reactions, and gas laws and kinetic molecular theory. Prerequisite: Completion of or concurrent enrollment in MATH 1400 or equivalent placement test score, and completion of CHEM 1000 or one year high school chemistry is strongly recommended.

Section notes
(Students must also register for Lab section CHEM 1020L-554. This class consists of an asynchronous online lecture component and a hybrid laboratory component and does not have weekly required meetings. The hybrid laboratory component will require students to complete laboratory experiments both on campus and at home. The on-campus labs will take place on the Cheyenne Campus over the course of a weekend as follows: Saturday 11/7 and Sunday 11/8 from 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. in SC125. If, for any reason, campus must be closed on the previously listed dates then Saturday 11/14 and Sunday 11/15 from 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. is reserved as back-up meeting dates. The take-home labs will require students to check out the following kit from the LCCC Ludden Library: "CHEM1020 Lab Kits - HYBRID". This kit MUST be checked out by the end of the first week of class. Students who live more than 50 miles outside of Cheyenne or Laramie AND within the contiguous US may contact the Ludden Library to request that the kit be sent by mail. Instructor: [email protected].)
