PREREQUISITES: High school chemistry with
laboratory component or Chemistry 3A or 10 or equivalent, and
Mathematics 103 or equivalent. ADVISORIES: English 1A.
This is the first course in a two course sequence in
general chemistry and is intended for students majoring in
science or satisfying prerequisites for professional schools. This
course covers the principles and laws of inorganic chemistry
with an emphasis on quantitative, mathematical problem-
solving. Topics included in the course are atoms, molecules
and ions; formulas and equations; stoichiometry; gas laws;
electronic structure of atoms; bonding; atomic orbital and
molecular orbital theories; solutions; precipitation reactions;
oxidation reduction reactions; introduction to acids and bases;
thermochemistry; properties of liquids; solids and crystal
structures; solution behavior; colligative properties; associated
laboratory experiments; and volumetric and gravimetric
analysis methods. (A, CSU-GE, UC, I) (C-ID CHEM 110)

PREREQUISITES: Chemistry 1A andMathematics
103. ADVISORIES: English 1A.
This course completes the year long general
chemistry sequence (1A-1B) and covers the principles of
physical and inorganic chemistry with an emphasis on
quantitative, mathematical problem solving. Topics covered
include acid-base theory, chemical kinetics, equilibrium (acid-
base, hydrolysis, and solubility), chemical thermodynamics,
electrochemistry, selected topics in nuclear chemistry,
coordination chemistry, and/or chemistry of selected groups.
Students will analyze inorganic compounds qualitatively and
quantitatively. (A, CSU-GE, UC, I) (C-ID 120S: CHEM 1A
