Ever wonder how chemistry pertains to your everyday life? Chemistry encompasses everything you touch, see, and feel on a daily basis. Chemical substances and processes are essential for our existence, to nourish us, to keep us clean and healthy, to provide transportation and so much more. Our General Chemistry course examines concepts of everyday issues and real-world applications of science. This course explores stoichiometry, thermochemistry, chemical bonding, as well as atoms, molecules, and ions. You will also be introduced to the composition of substances and solutions, covalent bonding, gases, and colloids.
Recommendation: Prior knowledge of College Algebra is highly recommended.
After completing this course, you should be able to:
- Recognize the basic foundation of chemistry, classification of matter, as well as physical and chemical properties
- Define stoichiometry, thermochemistry, and chemical bonding
- Recall the basics of the periodic property of elements, composition of substances and solutions, and theories of covalent bonding
- Identify the fundamentals of gasses: pressure, volume, amount, and temperature
- Recognize the properties and interactions of liquids and solids
