CHE 111 - Foundations of Chemistry

Semester Hours: 4

A study of the properties and the particulate nature of matter, the language of chemistry, the periodic table, atomic and molecular structure, and the energy changes that accompany chemical reactions. The laboratory program will involve investigation of chemical systems, analysis and interpretation of both qualitative and quantitative data, as well as communication of the results. CHE 111 is for students who have not had a previous course in chemistry or whose performance on a placement test has demonstrated the need for additional preparation in chemistry prior to taking CHE 117. (This course cannot be used as part of a chemistry major or minor.) Offered fall semester. Meets Scientific Discovery Intellectual Perspective requirement (SD).
