CHY 101 - General Chemistry I

The first part of a two-semester introduction to the properties and behavior of matter at the atomic and molecular level: unites and definitions, chemical changes, stoichiometry, energy changes, structure and periodicity of atoms, nuclear chemistry, states of matter, and chemical bonding. The integrated laboratory provides concrete experience of concepts discussed. In most cases, students should plan to take both CHY 101 and CHY 102. Lecture 3 hours, laboratory 3 hours.
