CHE 152 - Molecular Science I


This is the initial course of the three-semester Molecular Science sequence CHE 152/CHE 331 /CHE 332 . The topics covered in CHE 152 include atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonding, thermodynamics, equilibrium and aqueous chemistry, electrochemistry, kinetics and basics of organic chemistry. Students will be placed into CHE 152 based on their performance in the Online Chemistry Placement and Preparation (OCPP) process or upon receipt of a score of 4 or 5 in AP chemistry. (Such students cannot enroll in any of the courses CHE 129 /CHE 130 , CHE 131 , or CHE 132 ). May not be taken for credit in addition to CHE 129 , CHE 131 , or CHE 132 . Three lecture hours and one 80-minute workshop per week.
