CHM 106: Introductory Chemistry
MAT 131 Intermediate Algebra, MAT 117 Technical Math for Trades, or high school algebra
MAT 131 Intermediate Algebra, MAT 117 Technical Math for Trades, or high school algebra
This course is designed to provide an overview of the fundamental concepts of organic chemistry and biochemistry. Discussions of the physical and chemical properties of organic compounds provide the basis for introductory information about carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and enzymes.
This course is designed to introduce the students to fundamental concepts of general, organic and biochemistry and connections of these chemical principles to the health field. Topics include measurement, atomic structure, periodic table, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, properties of gases, matter and energy, chemical bonding, acids and bases, nuclear chemistry, organic structures, physical and chemical properties of organic compounds, stereochemistry, carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, proteins, enzymes, and metabolism.
High school chemistry and Algebra (or placement test into College Algebra)
This course is designed to prepare students for more advanced courses in chemistry and science. This course is a continuation of the study of the basic principles of chemistry. Topics include: intermolecular forces, solutions, kinetics, equilibria, acids and bases, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry, and organic chemistry. The laboratory will reinforce the lecture topics and emphasize safety and technique. This course is a second semester course of a two semester sequence.
