General Chemistry I Lecture Course Overview

CHEM 1010, General Chemistry I Lecture & Lab, is a three-credit, lecture only, online general chemistry course. The overall goal of this course is to give an introduction to general chemistry emphasizing the concepts that will be important for and provide the basis for the subjects you will encounter in their future studies. These concepts include components of matter, atomic theory, stoichiometry, chemical reactions and bonding, thermochemistry, gases, quantum theory, electron configuration, models of bonding, theories of covalent bonding, shapes of molecules and intermolecular forces of liquids, and solids.

General Chemistry I Lab Course Overview

CHEM 1010L is a one-credit, lab only, online general chemistry course. The overall goal of this course is to give an introduction to general chemistry focused on understanding the concepts within the labs and the scientific method. These concepts include: components of matter, atomic theory, stoichiometry, chemical reactions and bonding, thermochemistry, gases, quantum theory, electron configuration, models of bonding, theories of covalent bonding, shapes of molecules and intermolecular forces of liquids, and solids.

*We offer the opportunity for you to take just the lecture, just the lab, or both together.

General Chemistry I Lecture Course Outcomes

  • Define and apply parts of the scientific method.
  • Describe the fundamental properties of atoms, molecules, and physical states of matter.
  • Perform calculations that relate atoms, molecules, moles, and mass.
  • Trace the flow of energy in chemical reactions and perform energy calculations.
  • Identify the organizing principles of elements in the periodic table and use these to predict trends in atomic properties.
  • Relate basic quantum mechanical principles to electronic structure and chemical bonding.
  • Convert quantities in related units and systems of measurement.
  • Calculate solution concentrations and perform dilution calculations.
  • Balance chemical reactions and use the balanced reactions to calculate reaction yields.
  • Identify and classify precipitation, acid-base, and redox reactions.
  • Predict the shapes of molecules with a single central atom.
  • Use the ideal gas law to calculate the properties of gases.

General Chemistry I Lab Course Outcomes

  1. Utilize basic scientific equipment safely and accurately.
  2. Make, record, and report experimental observations.
  3. Create and analyze Excel-based graphs of experimental data.
  4. Observe and interpret chemical reactions.
  5. Effectively communicate experimental information in a scientific writing style.

General Chemistry I Lecture or Lab Course Prerequisites

  • One semester of college-level algebra (MATH 1010)

    *     Please note these prerequisites are highly suggested and support course preparedness and success. We recommend having completed the listed prerequisites before enrolling and within the past seven years.

How do exams work?

All exams are taken online. Major exams are required to be proctored online through ProctorU. For instructions on how to take your exams online, visit UNE Online’s ProctorU site. Please note exams must also be proctored with the UNE-approved external webcam.

How do labs work?

For CHEM 1010L, most of the weeks include a laboratory assignment. You will perform all laboratory assignments in a non-laboratory setting, such as your kitchen. You will complete one written lab report, as well as two lab discussion question posts. There will also be a lab final that covers the objectives from each of the required labs.
