This introductory chemistry course is designed for students with minimal or no prior chemistry background. The curriculum covers fundamental concepts including the metric system, matter and atomic structure, the periodic table, and radioactivity. Students will learn about chemical bonding, nomenclature of ionic and binary compounds, and chemical formulas. The course progresses to cover moles and mole ratios, balancing of chemical equations, classification of chemical reactions, stoichiometry, solutions, gas laws, and basic acid-base chemistry. An emphasis will be placed on scientific reasoning and problem-solving. Students will be asked to write lab reports and perform calculations. There will also be discussions and assignments on how fundamental scientific principles relate to everyday life. The integrated laboratory work introduces students to qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques. Prerequisites: None Additional Course Fee: $30.00
