CHEM 120 - Foundations of Chemistry

Institution:

University of St Francis

Subject:

Description:

is designed for students in health related majors as well as for those seeking to fulfill liberal education requirements. It provides an introduction to inorganic, organic, and biological chemistry and the principles that govern them. The course will focus on the interrelatedness of all these areas as well as their practical applications to health science. The principles selected from the general and organic chemistry areas will be the ones directly lined to the topics studied in biochemistry. This will allow specific emphasis to be placed on the close link between the structure of a molecule and its function. The laboratory component will reinforce some of the lecture topics, but will also focus on how the scientific method is really used to solve problems. Prerequisite: High school chemistry; 2 years of high school algebra.
