General Chemistry I
CHEM 001A is the first semester of a one-year course in chemistry intended for
majors in the natural sciences (chemistry, biochemistry, biology, physics, pre-medicine),
mathematics, and engineering.
- Class Hours:
- 54 Lecture | 108 Laboratory
- Prerequisite(s):
- MATH 063 or MATH 064
- Transfers to:
- UC/CSU
- C-ID:
- CHEM 120S

General Chemistry II
CHEM 001B is a continuation of the study of the principles of chemistry with an
emphasis on chemical thermodynamics (H, S, G), kinetics and mechanisms, equilibrium,
electrochemistry, spectroscopy, nuclear chemistry, introductory organic and biochemical
systems, and selected elemental chemistries of metals, non-metals, and metalloids.
The laboratory includes lecture-matched qualitative and instrumental evaluation of
selected species and parameters as well as microprocessor and computerized data gathering,
processing and reduction, and computer simulations. Appropriate training in chemical
safety is provided. The Chemistry 001A-001B sequence is required of all students majoring
in chemistry, chemical engineering, engineering sciences, biology, microbiology, and
all applied sciences (medicine, pharmacy, veterinary science, nursing,home economics,
etc).

Introductory Chemistry
CHEM 002A is a study of the applied principles of chemistry for the allied science
and non-science majors. Included are scientific methodology, composition of matter,
physical and chemical changes, bonding, nomenclature, chemical periodicity and reactivity,
stoichiometry, states of matter, atomic and molecular modeling, chemical energetics,
properties and models of solids, liquids, gases, aqueous solution and Redox reactions,
pH, reactions of elements/acids/bases/salts, and a brief introduction to organic chemistry.
Appropriate training in chemical safety is provided. The Chemistry 2A, 2B sequence
is a state university curriculum requirement for students planning to transfer to
majors in agriculture, nursing, home economics, industrial technology, industrial
arts, and other applied sciences.

Organic Chemistry for Science Majors I
CHEM 012A is the first course in a two course sequence in organic chemistry intended
for majors in the natural sciences (chemistry, biochemistry, biology, physics, and
pre-medicine). A study of all aspects of fundamental organic chemistry including nomenclature,
chemical and physical properties, reactions and syntheses of the major classes of
organic compounds will be cover by the two-course sequence. The course sequence includes
advance topics of organic chemistry such as theorical aspects, reaction mechanisms,
multistep syntheses, and the chemistry of polycyclic and heterocyclic compounds. This
course is more extensive an intensive than CHEM 002B and includes a greater emphasis
on reaction mechanisms and multistep syntheses.
