CHEM 100: General Chemistry I Lecture and Lab (4 Credits)
This course introduces the study of matter through both lecture and laboratory components. Topics include atomic theory, stoichiometry, chemical bonding, solutions, periodic trends, intermolecular forces, the properties of solids, liquids, and gases, reaction rates, acid-base chemistry, and nuclear chemistry. Students will apply foundational chemistry concepts to evaluate real-world problems from a physical science perspective. General Chemistry I is the first course in a two-semester sequence and includes hands-on laboratory experiments that reinforce lecture topics.
