4 credits (3 lecture, 1 lab)

This is an introductory course in inorganic chemistry, intended for nursing majors, or those preparing for CHEM 1010. The primary components of this course are atomic structure, periodicity of the elements, chemical bonding, matter and energy, and a brief introduction to organic chemistry.

* indicates a prerequisite course is required

5 credits (4 lecture, 1 lab)
This is an in-depth study of the principles of inorganic chemistry with emphasis on atomic structure, molecular structure, periodic properties, chemical nomenclature, stoichiometry, chemical bonding, the mole concept, and chemical reactions. (A working knowledge of basic algebra is recommended)

5 credits (4 lecture, 1 lab)

This is an in-depth study of the principles of inorganic chemistry with emphasis on modern atomic theory, chemical bonding, molecular geometry, gas laws, solution chemistry, acids and bases, chemical
equilibrium, electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry, and an introduction into organic chemistry. (A working knowledge of basic algebra is recommended)

4 credits (3 lecture, 1 lab)

Students will learn basic concepts of chemistry in the context of environmental science topics. How is the chemical composition of water, earth, and air affected by pollution and climate change? How can chemistry be used to improve industrial processes such as energy production and storage? Scientific ideas and skills will be introduced and practiced during the course to make the chemistry of the environmental topics understandable. Designed for environmental science students and those planning to transfer the course as a general education science course with lab.
