CHE 111: General Chemistry I

This course is the first course of a two-semester sequence which presents the concepts of general quantitative chemistry. The course will include measurement, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, the periodic table, introduction to acids and bases, reduction and oxidation, ionic and covalent bonding, molecular structure, VSEPR, and MO theory. There are three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Students who have received credit for CHE 111 or CHE 112 cannot subsequently receive credit for CHE 101. In the case that a student completes CHE 101 prior to completing CHE 111 or CHE 112, then CHE 101 will count as free elective credit only. Students are strongly advised to take SC1110 during the first seven-week offering along with CH E111 in the given semester or take SC1110 prior to taking CHE 111.
