A lab course discussing heat; molecular and ionic interactions in solids, liquids, gases, and solutions; chemical reactions including acid-base, electron transfer, and equilibrium.

A lab course discussing organic and biochemistry.

One-term preparatory chemistry course for students who want to take BI-231 and/or BI-234. Includes measurement; atomic structure; periodic table; bonding; nomenclature; heat; molecular and ionic interactions in solids; liquids and solutions; chemical reactions including acid-base; organic chemistry; and biochemistry.

An introductory laboratory science course designed specifically for the non-science student. Offers a broad, non-quantitative descriptive survey of scientific principles relevant to art and art-related topics such as light, color, pigments, dyes, solubility, acidity, oxidation, and polymers. Emphasizes an interdisciplinary perspective on chemistry.

One term preparatory course for students who must take the general chemistry sequence (CH-221Z, CH-222Z, CH-223Z) but have no chemistry background.

Transfer lab course for science, engineering, and professional majors. Covers the nature of chemistry, atomic theory, electron configuration, structure, bonding, properties, composition and nomenclature of covalent and ionic substances. Introduces organic chemistry and biochemistry topics.

Explores and applies principles and applications of chemistry. Emphasis on measurement, components of matter, atomic and molecular structure, quantitative relationships including foundational stoichiometry, and major classes of chemical reactions. CH-221Z is a lecture course; CH-227Z is the laboratory component.

A lab course discussing basic concepts of chemical bonding; molecular geometry and bonding theories; gases; intermolecular forces, solids, and liquids; properties of solutions; kinetics; and chemical equilibrium.
