About General Chemistry I

Chemistry as a broad, complex, multifaceted field of study, that is, a subject that
is the foundation to the physical world. After taking General Chemistry I, you should
be able to relate ideas about chemistry into other fields such as biology, medicine,
and engineering as well as everyday life. After successfully completing the course,
you will be able to:

• Remember terms associated with the following concepts of chemistry: the states of
  matter, the control of chemical reactions, and some chemistry of the elements.
• Predict simple chemical and physical behavior based on chemical structure.
• Describe the role that energy plays in chemical systems and in modern society.
• Engage in quantitative reasoning by expressing and solving mathematical problems that
  describe chemical behavior on the macro-scale, and analyzing and interpreting graphs
  and tables containing technical data and see relationships in the real world that
  are being described.

Students have 3 to 9 months to complete this course from the time of enrollment. You
may work at your own pace and complete lessons on your own schedule, submitting up
to three items per week for grading. This course contains 13 lessons including 5 proctored exams that are designed to focus your study of Chemistry and to assist you in achieving
the course learning objectives/outcomes. Each lesson contains learning objectives,
a to-do list, required reading, a video with supporting materials, and assessments.
Lesson topics include:

• Atoms, Molecules, and Ions
• Composition of Substances and Solutions
• Stoichiometry of Chemical Reactions
• Thermochemistry
• Electronic Structure and the Periodic Properties
• Chemical Bonding and Molecular Geometry
• Gases, Liquids and Solids
