CHM 151 — General And Inorganic Chemistry I
This course provides a foundation for science majors and pre - professional students to understand the properties of matter in terms of its atomic and molecular constitution. Emphasis is on the qualitative comprehension of chemical principles and the application of those principles to quantitatively addressing problems. Topics include chemical reaction types, including acidbase and redox reactions, stoichiometry, atomic structure, periodic relationships, thermochemistry, chemical bonding and intermolecular forces, molecular geometry and solid structure. The accompanying laboratory offers reinforecement of the lecture topics and/or introduction of additional concepts by providing hands-on experience in working with chemicals and scientific instrumentation.
