This course is an introduction to the fundamental principles of inorganic chemistry. Topics covered will include atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, states of matter, chemical kinetics and acid-base equilibrium, acid-base equilibria and nuclear chemistry, with an emphasis on the application of chemistry to everyday life. The course is designed for non-science majors, does not satisfy the requirement for a major or minor in chemistry, and cannot be used as a prerequisite for any other chemistry course.

A college level math course or two years of high school algebra with a minimum grade of C or permission of the department chair.
