CHEM 001AH — Honors General Chemistry 5 Units
This course is the first semester of the one year college level general chemistry sequence. Students will study basic chemical principles: classification of matter, atomic structure and periodicity, chemical nomenclature, types of reactions, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, chemical bonds, physical states of matter and solution chemistry. This course is required for students majoring in physical and biological sciences and pre-professional majors, such as pre-medicine and dentistry. The Honors course will be enhanced in the following ways: (1) The lecture component of this course will require that students complete a set of selected readings pertinent to concepts covered in class, from peer reviewed journals, such as journals from the American Chemical Society (e.g. J. Chem. Ed.). Critical analysis of these readings is expected and the students will be evaluated with extra questions during the regular examinations of the course. (2) The lecture component of this course will require that students apply higher-order thinking in problem solving strategies. (3) The laboratory component of this course will require that students apply concepts covered in lecture to analytical methods. (4) The laboratory component of this course will require that students develop and test an experimental protocol to carry out an assigned experimental outcome.
