CHM

7 courses with the subject CHM, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.

CHM 101Introductory Chemistry I4

A laboratory science course for students planning to transfer. Topics include: atoms, measurements, moles, quantum mechanical model of the atom, periodic properties, molecules and compounds, Lewis structures and molecular geometry, intermolecular forces and phases, chemical reactions, chemical quantities, aqueous solutions, and gas laws.
