This course introduces students to the science of chemistry. The course covers the physical states of matter, including the nomenclature used in chemistry, along with atomic structure, elements, the periodic chart, chemical bonding, chemical reactions, and acid-base theory. This course is a general overview for non-science majors.

Montana University System Core Course

An introductory survey of chemistry. This is the first semester of a two-semester sequence. The sequence provides an introduction to the principles of physical and inorganic chemistry appropriate for the level of knowledge necessary for students who plan on majoring in medicine, pharmacy, engineering, or the sciences. A major theme of the course is to introduce students to the chemist’s view of the universe, with an emphasis on making connections between the macroscopic and the particulate levels of matter. This course is primarily for science majors and other students planning to take more than one year of chemistry.
