Introductory Chemistry
A course emphasizing the general principles and theories of chemistry, including fundamentals of inorganic chemistry, atomic structure and states of matter, bonding, stoichiometry, acid-base concepts, periodicity and solution chemistry.
Outcomes: Understand the structure of matter and the chemical changes it undergoes, and predict those changes based on the periodic nature of the elements; Solve problems using chemical calculations concerning mass or concentration; Describe strong and weak acids and bases, and carry out related calculations; Develop the academic skills needed for future science courses including problem-solving, taking and reviewing notes, and multiple choice exams.
