CHEM 117 - Fundamentals of Chemistry-Lecture [GEKN]
A rapidly moving introductory study of basic principles in general chemistry. Includes elements, compounds, periodic properties, atomic structure, gas laws, and stoichiometry. Can be used with CHEM 118 to satisfy the chemistry prerequisite for CHEM 121 . CHEM 118 must be taken concurrently to satisfy four credits of the Knowledge of the Disciplines - Natural Science portion of the General Education program.
Credit 3 hrs May not be repeated for additional credit
Grade Mode Normal (A-F) Course Rotation Fall and Winter

Rationale for Knowledge of the Disciplines - Fundamentals of Chemistry and its required companion laboratory class (CHEM 118 ) provide an introduction to basic chemical principles for students with minimal or no chemistry background. The pair of courses presents an overview of fundamental concepts such as molecular structure, stoichiometry, and acid-base chemistry. They are a stand-alone, introductory pair of courses, as well as preparatory courses to others that are taught at a more advanced level, such as CHEM 120 (Fundamentals of Organic and Biochemistry) and CHEM 121 (General Chemistry I) . The laboratory portion of the course provides an introduction to the process of scientific discovery and basic laboratory techniques. The experiments are drawn from topics presented in the lecture course. The goal of the courses is to familiarize students with the scientific method as it applies to chemistry, basic experimental techniques, and fundamental chemical concepts.
