CH 130 - Principles of Chemistry I (CBL-R)


Credits: 4

This course provides you with the foundational skills and knowledge of chemistry for future studies, while fostering your appreciation for the chemical world and your understanding of matter and change in it. We concentrate on the fundamental principles underlying the properties of states of matter, elements, reactions, mass relationships, electronic structure, and bonding, and thermochemistry, and build skills to model and quantify what’s going on at a microscopic level.

This is a Community-Based Learning - Required (CBL-R)  course.

Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to do the following:

  • Explain macroscopic properties of various types and phases of matter as they result from the fundamental nature of atoms, isotopes, ions, subatomic particles, and molecules.
  • Apply the tools that allow scientists to quantify chemical systems.
  • Use and understand multiple representations and models of chemical systems.
  • Be able to demonstrate an understanding of the role and impact of chemistry on society and the environment.
  • Communicate chemistry ideas to classmates, instructors, and the general public.
