This course is a survey of basic chemistry topics, including measurements, physical and chemical properties, the periodic table, nomenclature, chemical reactions, atomic and molecular structure, states of matter, and solutions. This course also serves as an introduction to laboratory techniques and chemical laboratory safety with experiments that illustrate typical chemical reactions and the principles covered in the lecture, with a focus on hands-on qualitative and quantitative experiments. Prerequisites: MATH V01 with grade of C or better, or placement as determined by the college's multiple measures assessment process. Recommended Prep: MATH V03. Formerly: CHEM V20; CHEM V20L. Transfer credit: CSU; UC.

This course is for biological and health science majors. General, organic, and biological chemistry are studied with an emphasis placed on medical applications. Topics in general chemistry will include the modern view of the atom, molecule structure, chemical formulas, and chemical reactions. Topics in organic chemistry will include hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, amines, and amides. Topics in biochemistry will include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and metabolism. Prerequisites: MATH V01, or one year of high school algebra, or placement as determined by the college's multiple measures assessment process. Field trips may be required. Notes: This course is designed for students who are Allied Health Science majors. Formerly: CHEM V30; CHEM V30L. Transfer credit: CSU; UC.
