This course serves as in an introductory course for students who plan to pursue a career relating to the sciences. Students will gain a fundamental understanding of some of the various principles that help us explain the natural and physical world around us. The topics covered in this course serve to describe matter and the physical and chemical changes it experiences, as well as a brief survey of the theory and history behind this fascinating subject. Specifically, students will learn about measurement, atoms, the periodic table and periodicity, stoichiometry, solubility, acid/base chemistry, oxidation/reduction reactions and gas-phase relationships. Students will also be introduced to the basic concepts of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics and how both affect the nature of the chemical bond and chemical and physical properties of matter from molecules to materials. The laboratory portion of the course will serve to further develop the principles and concepts learned in the lecture portion through hands-on experiments as well as teaching students to analyze and report data
