CHEM-1400 (4) Foundations of Chemistry

Covers core concepts in chemistry: nature of matter (atomic and molecular structure, bonding and macroscopic properties), transformations of matter (chemical reactivity), and quantifying chemical transformations (thermochemistry, thermodynamics and kinetics). The course will emphasize critical thinking and cultivate core problem solving skills utilized by scientists. Intended for first semester CHEM/BCHM majors. Department enforced prereqs., one year high school chemistry or CHEM 1021 (min grad C-) and high school math through pre-calculus. Not recommended for students with grades below B- in CHEM 1021. Department enforced co-req.. CHEM 1401. Credit not given for this course and CHEM 1113, 1133, 1271 or CHEN 1211. Formerly CHEM 1251. Requisites: Restricted to Chemistry (CHEM) or Biochemistry (BCHM) majors only.
