Emphasis will be placed on basic concepts of state of matter, atomic structure, chemical bonding chemical compounds, and chemical reactions. High school algebra is prerequisite for this course. Course Objectives Define and explain technical terms used in chemistry. Analyze and interpret simple scientific information and data. Recognize and differentiate physical and chemical changes, mixtures, compounds molecules, atoms and ions. Recognize and differentiate common atomic components and particles. Write names and formulas for simple chemical compounds and differentiate between ionic and molecular compounds. Balance simple chemical equations. simple stoichiometry problems. Use conversion factors to solve chemistry problems. Explain the reason for the change in the ozone layer and health consequences. Identify the cause of indoor and outdoor air pollution, greenhouse gases, water pollution, and resulting health and environmental consequences. Discuss the efforts to solve local and global pollution, nutrition, and medicine issues and the consequences on economies, living standard, and societies.
