Demonstrate knowledge of the fundamental concepts of atomic structure, chemical bonding, intermolecular forces, chemical periodicity, and properties of the states of matter. Identify different classes of chemical reactions and predict products of basic reactions.

COLLEGE CHEMISTRY I

Instructional Methods (Methods of Teaching)
This course will be taught using the distance learning concept. Students will be self-directed and will use the textbook/e-text, lecture videos in Blackboard, Labster virtual labs, and Mastering assignments in learning the material presented in this course. Honorlock will be used for proctoring exams in Blackboard.
