NSL- In this first in a three-quarter general chemistry sequence for science and engineering majors, students explore structure and behavior of matter, chemical and physical properties and processes, modern theory of atomic structure, trends in the periodic table, bonding, molecular shapes, intermolecular forces, and chemical reactions. Laboratory extends content, emphasizes safety and critical thinking about experimental uncertainty, and introduces elements of chemical research. Prior introductory chemistry is recommended, such as one year of high school chemistry or CHEM& 139. (LAB)
Prerequisites
Completion of CHEM&139 with a grade of 2.0 or higher; OR Completion of MATH&141 or MATH 147 with a grade of 2.0 or higher, or placement into MATH&142 or above
