This general chemistry honors course, intended for students in the Honors Transfer Program, introduces the atom and its largest subatomic particles, describes and quantifies, where possible, how these particles and the nature of the atom are involved in chemical reactions, physical state, chemical energy, and bonding models. Algebra is used extensively to solve problems involving quantities. The course examines chemical theory in the context of familiar phenomena. Theories are tested and evaluated in the laboratory. One-hour of lecture time may be reserved for small group activities and analysis. This course is designed for science, mathematics, and related majors. The honors class will not only be given supplemental reading assignments they will also be required to write a scientific paper at the end of the semester. Students in the honors class will have to conduct a research, gather their information on what is already known about the topic, do literature research, conduct experiment(s) and conclude with a written paper (UC, CSU, AVC)
