Chemistry I for PADD

Chemistry I for PADD will enable students to deepen their understanding of chemistry through the study of atomic and molecular structure, chemical systems and equilibrium, electrochemistry, energy changes and rates of reactions, and organic chemistry. These topics will have a strong health science emphasis and will provide students with a chemistry perspective of health and the human body.Course work will include examples and problems that relate to health and the human body. Topics in this course include physical and chemical properties of matter, chemical bonding, atomic and molecular structure, chemical nomenclature, chemical equations, chemical quantities, stoichiometry, the gas laws, and solutions and solubility.  Laboratory investigations in this course will focus on safety, measurement, and common practices and procedures.  The purpose of the lab work is to develop practical skills while gaining a better understanding of the theoretical concepts and calculations.
