CHE 115

General Chemistry I- Systematic introduction to the conceptual and symbolic aspects of chemistry. Critical and quantitative thought as applied to the topics of measurement, atomic theory, periodicity and electronic structure of atoms, molecular/ionic structure/bonding, stoichiometry, reactions in aqueous solution, thermochemistry, and gases.

CHE 105 Chemistry for Health Sciences- This one-term laboratory course, designed for nursing and health science majors, builds on general chemistry concepts to provide an overview of organic and biochemistry with an emphasis on applications to the chemistry of the human body. Topics include solutions and body fluids, acid-base chemistry, relation between structure and reactivity for biochemical molecules, metabolic pathways, and applications of nuclear chemistry.
