This course is offered jointly by RTR High School and SMSU. This first college chemistry course is appropriate for chemistry, biology, and other science majors including pre-medical and other medical-related pre-professional students. The exams and assignments will be identical to those given in the on-campus section of the same course and the college grades will be determined by the SMSU faculty. Topics covered include introduction; atoms, molecules, and ions; stoichiometry; aqueous reactions; thermochemistry; electronic structure; periodic properties; chemical bonding; molecular geometry and orbitals; and gases. There will be 4 exams and a final. In addition, problems assigned from the book will also go toward your grade. The lab portion of the class consists of 10 labs and lab quizzes. Students will receive a high school grade and a college grade.
