CHM-111--(4)
FUNDAMENTALS OF CHEMISTRY
Prerequisite: 1 year of high school algebra or MTH 095 with a grade of "C" or better. An introductory course with laboratory in the basic fundamentals of inorganic chemistry with an introduction to organic, nuclear and biochemistry. Topics include metric system, atomic theory, nomenclature, bonding, stoichiometry, properties of matter, solutions, acids and bases, pH, and organic functional groups. The course does not assume that students have had high school chemistry, and is intended for nonscience liberal arts students and those who plan to pursue a career in allied health or nursing. The course is also designed as an entry-level course for CHM-131 for students who need a chemical foundation prior to enrolling in university-oriented chemistry. Fee is required. (5 contact hours)
