The NHTI CHEM 103 C Ready Start course provides students with a college-level foundation to support future advanced coursework in chemistry.  Students cultivate their understanding of chemistry through inquiry-based investigations, as they explore content such as: atomic structure, intermolecular forces and bonding, chemical reactions, kinetics, thermodynamics, and equilibrium. The NHTI CHEM 103 C Ready Start course is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistry course usually taken during the first college year.
