CHEMISTRY (CH)
CH 001A General Chemistry I Units: 5
This is the first course of a two-semester sequence covering the basic
principles and concepts of chemistry with emphasis on chemical
calculations. Inorganic chemistry is stressed, and the material includes
a discussion of atomic structure, chemical bonding, molecules, reaction
types, states of matter, and the properties of solutions. The laboratory
part of the course complements the lectures and includes qualitative
analysis. (C-ID CHEM 120S)

CH 001B General Chemistry II Units: 5
This is the second course of a two-semester sequence covering
the basic principles and concepts of chemistry with emphasis on
chemical calculations. Inorganic chemistry is stressed, and the material
includes a discussion of thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, equilibria,
electrochemistry and a detailed study of the chemistry of selected
elements. There is a brief introduction to organic, biological and nuclear
chemistry. The laboratory part of the course complements the lectures
and includes half a semester of ion properties and qualitative analysis.

CH 003 Introductory General Chemistry Units: 4
This course is the study of the principles of inorganic chemistry.
Instruction is given in calculations, atomic theory, Periodic Law,
bonding and compounds, nomenclature, states of matter, reaction
types, composition, stoichiometry, and acids, bases & pH. Laboratory
is a hands-on experience stressing manipulation, procedure, data and
outcome calculations. Business/Management Note: This course should
be taken by Liberal Studies majors on the Education track to satisfy
the chemistry requirement. It should also be taken as a prerequisite for
CH-001A for students who have not had high school chemistry within the
past 5 years. (C-ID CHEM 101)

CH 004 Fundamentals Of Chemistry Units: 4
This course is a survey of basic principles of inorganic, organic and bioorganic chemistry presented on a level for the general student. Note: This
course, in conjunction with CH-005, meets the requirements for bachelor
degrees in nursing, dental hygiene and allied health programs. The course
is transferable as a physical science with laboratory.

CH 005 Bio-organic Chemistry Units: 4
This course is a survey of organic chemistry and biochemistry with an
emphasis on the health sciences. It covers the major functional groups
of organic compounds. The biologically active macromolecules and
their components are discussed. Bioenergetics and metabolism are a
substantial part of this course. The course is intended for health sciences
students in dental hygiene, physician's assistant, and related programs.
Note: This course, in conjunction with CH-004, satisfies the requirements
for those Health Sciences programs that require one year of chemistry
other than general chemistry. (C-ID CHEM 102)

CH 010A Organic Chemistry I Units: 5
This course is the first of a two-semester sequence covering the basic
principles and concepts of organic chemistry. An in-depth study is
made of the bonding of carbon, stereochemistry, and the reactivity
of alkanes,alkyl halides, alkenes, alkynes and alcohols. Addition,
elimination, substitution and free radical reactions are discussed. Infrared
Spectroscopy, Mass Spectrometry and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Spectroscopy are being covered in detail. The course is designed for
chemistry, biology and pre-professional majors. (C-ID CHEM 160S)
