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.(AA/AS, CSU, UC)
- Class Hours:
- 54.00 Lecture | 108.00 Laboratory
- Prerequisite(s):
- MATH 063 or MATH 064
- Transfers to:
- Transfers to both UC/CSU
- CHEM-001B
- General Chemistry II

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. (AA, CSU, UC) The Chemistry 001A, 001B sequence is required of
all students majoring in chemistry, chemical engineering, engineering sciences, biology,
microbiology, and all applied sciences at the University of California, i.e., medicine,
pharmacy, veterinary science, nursing, home economics, etc. These courses are acceptable
for credit at the University of California and California State University.(AA/AS,

Introductory Chemistry I
Chemistry 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 elememts/acids/bases/salts, and a brief introduction to
organic chemistry. Appropriate raining in chemical safety is provided.(C-ID CHEM 101)(AA/AS,CSU,UC)
