SNCC 117
Course Description:
This course is designed to introduce biology students to the fundamental principles of chemistry. Topics to be covered
include atomic structure, chemical equations, the periodic table, chemical bonding and intermolecular interactions,
thermochemistry, reaction spontaneity, reaction rates, chemical equilibria, acid base chemistry and reactions in
aqueous systems. Emphasis will be given to applications of chemical principles in biological systems. Students will
develop an understanding of: Atomic structure and chemical properties of elements; Chemical reactions and reaction
stoichiometry; Nature of chemical bonding and molecular shape; Significance of intermolecular forces;
Thermodynamics of chemical reactions; Chemical kinetics, chemical equilibria, reaction rates, Acid base chemistry,
and Buffers, acid base equilibria.
