Description

Introductory and cursory course in which the fundamental principles of chemistry are developed. Included are topics in atomic structure, chemical bonding, electronic configuration, the Periodic Table, stoichiometry, solutions, gases, and acid-base chemistry. Appropriate lab experiments will complement the lectures. This course is not meant as a substitute for either CHEM 103C or CHEM 104C. High school chemistry with lab strongly recommended.
