General Chemistry I

COREQUISITE : V25.0103

Along with CHEM-UA 102, constitutes an introduction to inorganic and physical chemistry for science majors, engineers, and the prehealth professions. Students who have taken no chemistry or physics in high school may find it advantageous to take CHEM-UA 2 prior to this course. Emphasizes the fundamental principles and theories of chemistry. Topics discussed in CHEM-UA 101 and CHEM-UA 102 include the theories of atomic structure; stoichiometry; properties of gases, liquids, solids, and solutions; periodicity of the properties of elements; chemical bonding; equilibrium; kinetics, thermodynamics; acid-base reactions; electrochemistry, coordination chemistry, and nuclear chemistry. The underlying unity of chemistry is a basic theme.
