CHE 011 - Introduction to Chemistry

2 equivalent hours - Two hours weekly; one term.
Study the fundamentals of chemistry including atomic theory, chemical bonding, naming compounds, stoichiometry. Use basic chemical terminology and principles appropriately to solve chemistry problems quantitatively and explain chemical phenomenon qualitatively. This course is for students whose ACT math score indicates a need for strengthening mathematical ability or for students who have not successfully completed one year of high school chemistry and need more background in chemistry before registering for CHE 111.

Prerequisite(s): Completion of MAT 034 , MAT 036 , or MAT 044 with a grade of C or higher, or eligibility for MAT 037 , MAT 045 , or MAT 135 .

Note: Typically offered at MC and OL; fall, spring, and summer terms.

Course Outcomes:

Use basic chemical terminology and principles appropriately.
Use appropriate mathematical tools to solve chemistry problems.
Explain or describe chemical phenomena qualitatively.
Identify molecules as polar or nonpolar and describe differences in their behavior.
