CHEM& 121 (Formerly
CHEM 101 Fundamentals of General Chemistry)
INTRODUCTION TO CHEMISTRY (S) (5)
This
course is designed to give a broad exposure to the basics of chemistry
in one quarter. By the end of this course the student should be able to
describe matter and energy; perform measurements and scientific
calculations; be able to describe an atom; describe the periodic table;
explain chemical bonds; name chemicals and predict formula; describe
chemical reactions and write equations; describe solids, liquids and
gases at the molecular level; explain and predict reaction rates; and
perform pH calculations and measurements.
