| Catalog Description: A one-semester accelerated general chemistry course as an alternative to the year-long Basic Principles of Chemistry sequence (14-15) for students with a strong chemistry background. This course will cover atomic and molecular structure, spectroscopy, chemical bonding, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, kinetics, equilibria, transition materials, nuclear chemistry, and descriptive inorganic chemistry. Three lectures and one four-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: 4 or 5 on the Chemistry Advanced Placement test (or a score of 6 or 7 on the Higher Level Baccalaureate Exam, or completion of a comparable honors chemistry course in high school), Mathematics 30 (or concurrent enrollment), and permission of instructor. Laboratory fee $50 per semester. Second semester. |
