CHEM1061 — Principles of Chemistry I
CHEM 1061 - Principles of Chemistry I CHEM 1061 - Principles of Chemistry I 5 Credits Includes study of basic chemical theory and application with emphasis upon atomic theory and structure, chemical bonding, inorganic chemical nomenclature, chemical reactions, reaction stoichiometry, periodic relationships, molecular structure, properties of gases and the kinetic molecular theory. The lab component of this course provides the student with the opportunity to apply chemical concepts through observation, data collection, quantitative measurement, problem analysis, and mathematical applications to chemistry. Approved safety goggles and a lab apron are required. Recommended: CHEM 1010 or a full year of advanced high school chemistry within the last 2 years and with a grade of “C” or higher Major Content Areas Quantum mechanics foundations: quantum numbers and periodic relationships Chemical bonding foundations: molecular geometry, polarity, VSEPR and valence bond theory. Chemical nomenclature and formulas Properties of gases and the kinetic molecular theory Thermochemistry: laws, enthalpy and enthalpy change in chemical systems. Chemical bonding foundations: molecular geometry, polarity, VSEPR and Valence Bond Theory Measurement, significant figures, precision of measurement. Atomic theory and atomic structure including atoms, molecules and ions. Types of chemical reactions and balancing chemical equations. The mole concept, empirical formulas, and molecular formulas. Chemical, so
