CHEM 131 - Introduction to General Chemistry

Credits: 3 hours. This course provides no credit toward a chemistry major or minor.
This course is an introductory general chemistry course intended for students who have little or no chemistry background. This course is specifically designed to prepare students for CHEM 132-General Chemistry I. It is both a conceptual and mathematical course that covers atomic and molecular structure, the periodic table, chemical systematic naming schemes, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, gasses, solutions, acid/bases, and an introduction to oxidation/reduction, chemical equilibrium, and nuclear chemistry. This course will also partially satisfy a requirement of Section III of the General Education Curriculum.
