CHE-1200 - General Chemistry I* (S) (3)

Prerequisite: Take CHE-1050  , CHE-1050L   (Score 20 or above on California Chemistry Diagnostic Test and waive CHE-1050  , CHE-1050L  ); college-level reading placement or complete one of the following: IRW-0900A  or  IRW-0900B ; and  MTH-1120  or MTH-1150   or appropriate math placement.
Students learn fundamental principles of chemistry based on a study of the physical and chemical properties of the metallic and nonmetallic elements. Topics include the structure of matter, symbols, formulas and equations, chemical bonding, gaseous state and the kinetic molecular theory, solutions, oxidation reduction, the periodic table, and thermochemistry.  Credit for this course may be earned through Advanced Placement Examination.  This course satisfies the General Education Physical Science requirement.
