CHM 105 Pollution of the Environment

Considers the problems of a technical society: air pollution, water pollution, greenhouse effect, acid rain, radon contamination, and ozone shield depletion. The fundamental chemistry and physics necessary for understanding these problems will be presented on a level appropriate for the non-science major.

CHM 110 Chemistry with Biological and Medical Applications

Provides foundational chemical concepts particularly pertinent to students pursuing careers in nursing and in middle childhood education. Topics include matter, measurements, atoms, bonds, moles, solids/liquids/gases, solutions, reactions, acids/bases/salts, and nuclear chemistry. Laboratory work reinforces and applies lecture material and includes computer-based data acquisition and analysis. Three lecture and one 3-hour laboratory periods per week.

For pre nursing and middle childhood education students: CHM 115

CHM 111 General Chemistry I

Provides science majors, pre-engineering students, and education majors seeking adolescent/young adult licensure with a comprehensive study of matter, its interactions, and its transformations. This is the first course of a two-course sequence covering the most fundamental concepts and theories of chemistry. Topics covered in this course are measurement and uncertainty, properties and classification of matter, atomic structure, the periodic table and periodic properties of the elements, molecular structure, ionic and covalent bonding, properties of gases, and basic chemical calculations. Three lecture periods per week.
