CHM: Chemistry
CHM 090 - Chemistry Concepts This course provides a non-laboratory based introduction to basic concepts of chemistry. Topics include measurements, matter, energy, atomic theory, bonding, molecular structure, nomenclature, balancing equations, stoichiometry, solutions, acids and bases, gasses, and basic organic chemistry. Upon completion, students should be able to understand and apply basic chemical concepts and demonstrate basic laboratory skills necessary for success in college-level science courses. This course is designed to prepare students for college level work and will not satisfy credit hours for any degree, diploma or certificate program. This course will not transfer to a four-year institution but will transfer to any of the community colleges within the N.C. Community College System; however, it will not satisfy any degree, diploma or certificate requirements at the receiving institution. Credit earned for this course will only satisfy the prerequisites for entry into a curriculum level course. |
