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.

This course is an introduction to matter and energy, atomic structure, nomenclature, chemical equations, stoichiometry, gases, thermochemistry, quantum chemistry, bonding, molecular geometry, oxidation-reduction, liquids and solids, and solutions. The laboratory provides the student with experience in applying the principles developed in the lecture component of the course. Quantitative experiments that illustrate the fundamental laws of chemistry are emphasized, including analysis of data and communication of results. Prerequisites: CHEM V101 with a grade of C or better, or CHEM V20 with a grade of C or better and CHEM V20L with a grade of C or better, or passing score on an AP/IB/CLEP exam in chemistry; and completion of Intermediate Algebra (MATH V03) or a higher-level mathematics course with a grade of C or better, or placement as determined by the college's multiple measures assessment process. Field trips may be required. Formerly: CHEM V01A; CHEM V01AL. Transfer credit: CSU; UC.
