CHEM 1020 - General Chemistry I
This course engages students with concepts of atomic and chemical structure, bonding and structure, chemical periodicity, solutions, thermochemistry, and solid and liquid state properties.
Credits: 4
Instructional Method Lecture and Lab
General Education Requirement: Physical Science
Comments: This course meets UW’s Physical and Natural World requirement.
Prerequisites:
CHEM 1000 Introductory Chemistry, or one year of high school chemistry, and completion of or concurrent enrollment in MATH 1400 Pre-Calculus Algebra, or placement into a higher level math course.
Minimum Student Competencies
Upon completion of CHEM 1020 General Chemistry I , the student will:
- Differentiate between atoms, ions, and molecules through use of atomic theory.
- Explain, both quantitatively and conceptually, how the existence of atoms supports the conservation of matter.
- Develop quantitative relationships for a substance using appropriate means, especially the mole concept, molar mass, Molarity, the Ideal Gas Law and density.
- Predict atomic electronic structure and how it relates to bonding, periodic trends and element characterization.
- Differentiate nonpolar covalent, polar covalent and ionic chemical bonds especially as they are related to molecular shape and intermolecular forces.
- Predict how particulate-level structure affects the macroscopic properties of a substance.
- Construct structural representations, especially but not only Lewis structures, of chemical species.
Program Outcomes
Upon completion of CHEM 1020 General Chemistry I, the student will:
Pre-Professional AS
PO 4. Make accurate and precise scientific measurements.
Additional degree programs require this course as a program requirement, program elective, or general education science requirement. Program outcomes will vary.
