Introduction to General Chemistry I (recitation)

CHEM 1011 is an introductory college-level course in chemistry intended for students with less preparation in high school chemistry and mathematics. The course content parallels that of CHEM 1012, but with emphasis placed on developing problem-solving strategies and developing the underlying chemical principles. The course will take an 'atoms first' approach to introductory chemistry, where topical coverage includes an overview of quantum theory, atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical bonding, elementary chemical reactions, stoichiometry, ideal gases, and intermolecular interactions. Topics from mathematics and physics that are necessary to chemical problem-solving will be included as needed. Prerequisite: Students with credit for CHEM 1012 may not enroll in CHEM 1011. Credit will not be awarded for both CHEM 1011 and 1012.
