Chemical Principles I - Spring 2009

Course Description
Introduction to the fundamental principles of chemistry including atomic structure, stoichiometry, the
periodic table of the elements, chemical bonding, molecular structure, and states of matter based on
kinetic theory. Laboratory work presents an introduction to methods of quantitative chemical techniques.
This course is intended for majors in any of the sciences, including pre-dental, premedical, and pre-
engineering students. Note: Chem 115 (lecture + discussion) and Chem 117 (lab) are co-requisite
courses, so you should be enrolled in both, unless you have already taken and passed Chem 117 or the
equivalent elsewhere.
