Description
Survey of inorganic chemistry, without lab. Chem&139 is intended for science majors who have not had chemistry in high school and need the chemical and mathematical preparation required for the CHEM& 161, CHEM& 162, CHEM& 163 series. It can also be used to fulfill the AA degree requirement in Natural Science. Prerequisites: MATH 78E or instructor permission; appropriate placement score or grade of C or higher in ENGL 087 or permission of the Science Division Chair or designee. Recommended: READ 088 or higher. |
Intended Learning Outcomes
Differentiate between major chemical categories, including: states of matter; metals vs. nonmetals; ionic compounds vs. covalent compounds; solutes vs. solvents.
Solve quantitative problems using discipline-specific tools, including: scientific units and metric conversion; stoichiometry and dimensional analysis; and solution concentration.
Apply mathematical equations to solve problems in thermodynamics and kinetics; chemical equilibrium and pH; and radioactive decay.
Sketch the atom in terms of the major subatomic particles, their location, masses and charges; explain the arrangement of the periodic table and periodic trends in terms of electron quantization.
Draw Lewis structures for simple molecules and polyatomic ions; predict the shape, polarity, and solubility of simple molecules on the basis of VSEPR and intermolecular forces.
