CHM 090 Introduction to Chemistry - 3 Credits
This course is a foundation course for studies in biology and chemistry. Students manipulate significant figures and scientific notation; study density, energy, and their calculations; learn basic atomic structure and the periodic table; and write and solve formulas, equations, and related problems. They examine gases, chemical bonding, equilibrium, redox reactions, and rate chemistry; and, demonstrate knowledge of solutions, acid-base chemistry, and related calculations.
Prerequisite: MAT 095 with a grade of "C" or higher; or appropriate placement score. F/S/SU Note: This developmental chemistry course cannot be used to satisfy degree or certificate requirements

CHM 101 Introduction to the Chemistry of Living Systems - 4 Credits
This course is designed for students seeking careers in the health sciences and the natural sciences (biology and chemistry) by focusing on those chemicals and processes that operate in living systems. Students learn the fundamentals of inorganic, organic, and biological chemistry and apply these chemical principles in laboratory exercises.
Prerequisite: CHM 090 or one year of High School Chemistry, MAT 095 with a grade of "C" or higher; or appropriate placement score. F/S/SU

CHM 105 General Chemistry I - 4 Credits
This course focuses on the classification of matter and the behavior and characteristics of chemicals in the natural world. Topics include the basic structure of the atom, nuclear chemistry, nomenclature of chemicals, chemical reactions, the mole concept, stoichiometry, acid-base concepts, the concentration units of solutions, the gas laws, thermochemistry and quantum theory. The laboratory portion of the course fosters basic laboratory skills and reinforces lecture concepts.
