CHEM 4A Advanced General Chemistry: Molecular Structure and Reactivity

The first course of the two-quarter accelerated general chemistry series intended for students with a strong high school chemistry background. Coverage includes atomic structure and periodicity, general concepts of chemical bonding, covalent bonding, chemical equilibria and acid-base equilibria. To enroll in CHEM 4A, students must complete an ALEKS prep module. To access this module, find a link in the "Class Notes" section of CHEM 4A in the schedule of classes. Students cannot enroll in CHEM 4A after receiving credit with a 'C' or better in CHEM 3A.

Requirements

Prerequisite(s): Completion of CHEM 4 Prep ALEKS module (find module link in lass Notes section of CHEM 4A in the schedule of classes). Previous or concurrent enrollment in MATH 3 (or equivalent/higher) or a math placement score of 300 or higher. Concurrent enrollment in CHEM 4AL. Strong high-school-level chemistry is highly recommended. Students who have a C or better in CHEM 3A are not allowed to enroll in CHEM 4A.
