Basic Chemistry

The course begins with the classification and physical properties of matter, measurement, errors and dimensional analysis. It then progresses to chemical nomenclature, chemical formulas, valence, chemical reactions, chemical equations and stoichiometry, followed by the properties of gases, liquids, and solutions. Finally, the atomic theory of matter, introduction to electronic structure, the periodic table of the elements and an introduction to chemical bonding completes this course. A laboratory accompanies this course. Note(s): Also offered through Distance Education. Laboratories taught in three (3) consecutive periods (this applies to on-site course offerings only). For Arts students only. This course cannot be applied to a degree in Science or Engineering. NOTE: The fee quoted is for NON-DND there is a different fee for DND/FGE students.
