CHE 100:  CONCEPTS OF CHEMISTRY

This one semester course is designed for the under prepared student to enter General Chemistry (CHE 110) or Survey of Chemistry (CHE 120). It concentrates on basic concepts and principles using a mathematical and quantitative approach. Among these are the scientific method and philosophy, measurement, nomenclature, atomic structure, formulas and equations, periodicity, bonding, solutions, acids, bases, salts, stoichiometry, and redox reactions. Emphasis will be placed on the mole concept. By attaining a grade of "C" or better in this course, a student will be admitted to CHE 110 without the placement exam. Students majoring or minoring in chemistry may not apply credit for this course toward meeting their chemistry requirements. Science majors should consult with their departments. Every Semester.
