CHEM150

An introduction to the fundamental principles of chemistry from atoms (atomic structure and properties) to compounds (bonding and properties) to reactions (types and stoichiometry). Principles of energy, interactions, and states (solid, liquid, gas) are also common threads throughout the course. The laboratory provides the hands-on component of the Principles of Chemistry course. Principles from the course will be reinforced and some new topics introduced in a variety of labs with an emphasis on inquiry. Labs utilize modern tools such as molecular modeling software, computer-based lab probes (temperature, pH, spectrometer), and use of Excel spreadsheets.
