CHM 1001Introduction To Chemistry3
Credit(s) 3 This course is intended to introduce students to general concepts related to the field of chemistry and the basic mathematical operations required in the natural sciences. The course can serve as a basic introduction to the field of chemistry for the students who did not take chemistry as part of their high school curriculum or as a refresher course prior to taking CHM 1010 : College Chemistry. The course consists of three lecture hours per week and does not have a laboratory component or count towards the science requirements in the College’s Liberal Arts Core curriculum. Students may enroll in this course up to one month into classes or they may be encouraged to move from CHM 1010 to CHM 1001. Prerequisites CHM 1000
Credit(s) 3 Basic facts and principles of chemistry, including nomenclature, stoichiometry, solutions, electronic structure, bonding and geometry, periodic trends, and elementary thermochemistry. Prerequisites MTH 1110 (or higher) or a score of 30 out of 60 on the ACS Toledo exam Corequisites MTH 1110 (or higher) or a score of 30 out of 60 on the ACS Toledo exam
Credit(s) 1 CHM 1012 is a recitation class designed to provide time for application of the concepts covered in CHM 1010 : College Chemistry I. The material covered will run in parallel to the instruction covered in CHM 1010 lecture and build conceptual knowledge through problem-solving and discussion. This course is 1 recitation hour (1 credit hour) per week and will be graded pass/fail based on student attendance and participation. This course does not count towards the science requirements in the College’s Liberal Arts Core curriculum.
Credit(s) 3 Introduction to intermolecular forces, properties of solutions, kinetics, equilibrium systems, electrochemistry, gaseous, systems, and advanced thermodynamics. Prerequisites CHM 1010 with a grade of C- or better.
Credit(s) 1 CHM 1022 is a recitation class designed to provide time for application of the concepts covered in CHM 1020 : College Chemistry II. The material covered will run in parallel to the instruction covered in CHM 1020 lecture and build conceptual knowledge through problem-solving and discussion. This course is 1 recitation hour (1 credit hour) per week and will be graded pass/fail based on student attendance and participation. this course does not count towards the science requirements in the College’s Liberal Arts Core curriculum.
Credit(s) 3 An introduction to theoretical, synthetic, industrial, and biological aspects of the chemistry of carbon compounds. The course focuses on the synthesis and reactions of simple organic molecules, stereochemistry, and an introduction to the study of reaction mechanisms. Prerequisites CHM 1020 CHM 1021
Credit(s) 1 CHM 2412 is a recitation class designed to provide time for application of the concepts covered in CHM 2410: Organic Chemistry I. The material covered will run in parallel to the instruction covered in CHM 2410 lecture and build conceptual knowledge through problem-solving and discussion. This course is 1 recitation hour (1 credit hour) per week and will be graded pass/fail based on student attendance and participation. This course does not count towards the science requirements in the College’s Liberal Arts Core curriculum. Corequisites CHM 2410
