CHEMISTRY
CHEM 1A GENERAL CHEMISTRY (5 Units)
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.
PREREQUISITES: High school chemistry with laboratory component or Chemistry 3A or 10 or equivalent, and Mathematics 103 or equivalent.
ADVISORIES: English 1A. (A, CSU-GE, UC, I) (C-ID CHEM 110)

CHEM 1B GENERAL CHEMISTRY AND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS (5 Units)
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.

CHEM 3A INTRODUCTORY GENERAL CHEMISTRY (4 Units)
This is a survey course in the principles of inorganic chemistry covering the composition of matter, physical and chemical changes, atomic and
molecular structure, inorganic nomenclature, chemical formula and reaction calculations, gas laws, bonding, solutions, net-ionic equations, acid-base
theories, pH, oxidation-reduction reactions, thermodynamics, nuclear chemistry and equilibrium. The course emphasizes problem solving and chemical
calculations. Both qualitative and quantitative theory and techniques will be covered. It is intended for applied science and non-science majors or for
students preparing to take Chemistry 1A.

CHEM 3B INTRODUCTORY ORGANIC AND BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY (3 Units)
Introduction to the basic concepts of organic and biological chemistry. A study of the structure and behavior of organic and biochemical compounds,
including metabolism, and regulation. Topics such as bonding, saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, the chemistry of organic functional groups,
and the properties of important biological compounds such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are covered. Primarily for students in health oriented
professions.
