CHEM 221 is the second course and laboratory in a two-semester sequence covering the fundamental concepts of chemistry designed for science majors. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to
- Understand the scientific method and use it to answer questions of academic scientific interest and real-world concern.
- Understand the metric system of measurement and use it to solve problems accurately and precisely.
- Clearly communicate orally and in writing using the language and symbology of chemistry and computational mathematics at an appropriate level of sophistication.
- Construct, interpret and analyze charts, graphs and tables.
- Know the physical principles which determine chemical structure, properties, reactivity and energetics.
- Know standard laboratory policies, procedures and safety practices, and follow them
