CHEM 1012-001 General Chemistry I Troy Wymore MWF 8:30 AM-9:29 AM Basic concepts and principles of chemistry and their applications in chemistry and closely-related fields. The first term emphasizes the understanding of chemical reactions through atomic and molecular structure. This is a university level course, treating the material in sufficient depth so that students can solve chemical problems and can understand the principles involved in their solution. It includes an introduction to condensed matter. This course is suitable for majors or non-majors and is recommended to satisfy either major or pre-professional requirements for general chemistry. This course is presented for students with high school chemistry and calculus. Students with a lesser background than this should take CHEM 1011. Prerequisite: Students with credit for CHEM 1011 may not enroll in CHEM 1012. Credit is not awarded for both CHEM 1011 and CHEM 1012. Physical World Sector
