Descriptions of the Chemistry courses from the Roane State Catalogue |
CHEM 1000 Fundamentals of Chemistry Credits: 4This course is designed for students desiring to enter a science, engineering or pre-med (veterinarian, pharmacy, etc.) program but who have had no high school chemistry or are not recent high school graduates. The emphasis will be on the fundamental concepts of chemistry, nomenclature, equation writing, simple stoichiometric calculations, bonding, gas laws and property of solutions. NOTE: This course cannot be used to fulfill a natural/physical science requirement where a sequence is indicated. 3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory (Prerequisite: 2 years of high school algebra with appropriate score of 19 or above on the ACT MATH portion OR MATH 1000, Algebra Essentials) Each student is assessed a lab fee for this course. F, Su Not part of a TN Transfer Pathway. |
CHEM 1010 Introduction to Chemistry I Credits: 4Introductory chemistry dealing with the basic principles such as atomic structure, periodic law, states of matter, chemical bonding, types of compounds, gas laws, solutions, acids and bases, equilibria. 3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory (Prerequisite: 2 years of high school algebra with appropriate score of 21 or above on the ACT MATH portion OR completion of all Math Learning Support requirements AND MATH 1000 Algebra Essentials. If you did not have a chemistry course in high school it is STRONGLY advised that you take the CHEM 1000 course first.) Each student is assessed a lab fee for this course. F, Sp Roane State General Education course approved and designed for transfer. |
CHEM 1020 Introduction to Chemistry II Credits: 4Aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic organic chemistry with emphasis on structure, nomenclature, and functional groups.
