The first of a two-course survey of the principles of chemistry appropriate for science majors. Topics include stoichiometry, the main classes of reactions, atomic and molecular structure, thermochemistry, and phase behavior. The associated lab elaborates on the material discussed in class and introduces laboratory techniques including the use of modern instrumentation. One year of high school chemistry or CHEM 103 is required. Entering students are expected to have a working knowledge of high school algebra, logarithms, and scientific notation. A placement test will be administered at the beginning of the course to assess the student's readiness for the course. Fall. Lab fee. *Prerequisites: One year of high school chemistry or CHEM 103
