    Description
    statistics, Successful completion of Intermediate Algebra or equivalent or higher or placement into transfer-level math/ quantitative reasoning course A student learns nomenclature of elements and inorganic compounds, ionic and covalent bonding, atomic structure, molecular geometry, chemical reactions, problem solving, measurements, stoichiometry, states of matter and related energy concepts, gas laws, aqueous and solution chemistry, quantum theory, periodic properties, colligative properties, and acid base concepts. This course is a survey of basic chemistry topics with laboratory, emphasizing fundamental principles of inorganic and physical chemistry. Laboratory exercises are quantitative in nature and are related to the lecture topics. This course serves as preparation for major's chemistry, allied health, and general education, and meets the IGETC and CSU general education requirements for physical science with laboratory.
