201930.CHEM105.01
Introduction to Chemical Principles (CHEM 105) is a course that provides an introduction to chemistry in general, and to the chemistry of living things in particular. It is directed toward students with career goals in nursing, allied health, biological sciences, public health, and other disciplines in which understanding the fundamentals of biological chemistry are valuable. The course introduces elements, atoms, the periodic table, and the quantitative nature of chemistry. It also individually highlights the nature of ionic and molecular compounds. Discussion is made on chemical reactions and their stoichiometry, energies, rates, and equilibria. Other topics essential to applied chemistry that are considered include gases, liquids, solids, solutions, acids and bases, as well as nuclear chemistry.
