Topics include general properties ofmatter, the development of the model of theatom, nuclear chemistry, basics of chemicalbonding, chemical equations and their uses,acids and bases, oxidation-reduction, andan introduction to organic chemistry. Thelaboratory portion of the course introducesstudents to basic equipment and proceduresused in the science laboratory and provides anopportunity to observe some of the conceptsdiscussed in the classroom. This course is116 Century College 2010-2011intended for students who have not had ahigh-school chemistry course within the lastthree years.Prerequisite: Assessment score placementin MATH 0070 or above, or completion ofMATH 0030 with a grade of “C” or higher.Assessment score placement in RDNG 1000,or completion of RDNG 0090 with a grade of“C” or higher.Principles of Chemistry ICHEM 1041 5 CreditsMnTC: Goal 03This is the first course in a two-courseintroduction to chemistry. Students willinvestigate the basic concepts of chemistry,including atomic theory and structure,chemical nomenclature, chemical equationsand stoichiometry, electron configurationand periodicity, chemical bonding, molecularstructure, enthalpy changes associated withchemical reactions, the behavior of gases,and an introduction to organic chemistry.Quantitative laboratory experimentsemphasize observation, organization of data,and analysis of data. This course is intendedfor students who need a course in generalchemistry to fulfill a requirement for a varietyof majors such as: chemistry, medicine,biology, nursing, dentistry, physical therapyand liberal arts.Prerequisite: Assessment score placementin MATH 1061 or above, or completion ofMATH 0070 with a grade of “C” or higher.Assessment score placement in RDNG 1000or completion of RDNG 0090 with a grade of“C” or higher. Recommendation: High schoolchemistry or Chem 1020.Principles of Chemistry IICHEM 1042 5 CreditsMnTC: Goal 03This course is a continuation of CHEM 1041.Students will investigate solid state structure,properties of solutions, chemical kinetics,chemical equilibria, acids and bases, oxidationand reduction, and chemical thermodynamics.The laboratory work emphasizes observation,organization of data, analysis of data, andexperimental design. This course is intendedfor students who need a second course ingeneral chemistry to fulfill a requirement for avariety of majors such as: chemistry, medicine,biology, nursing, dentistry, physical therapyand liberal arts.Prerequisite: Completion of CHEM 1041 witha grade of “C” or higher.Independent StudyCHEM 1790 1 - 3 CreditsAn opportunity for an in-depth study of aparticular topic.Prerequisite: Consent of instructor and dean.Organic Chemistry ICHEM 2041 5 CreditsAn introduction to organic chemistry. Topicsinclude a review of covalent bonding, acidbasechemistry, and reaction energetics,and an introduction to organic functionalgroups, stereochemistry, and substitutionreactions.
