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.

This course in algebra is designed for students with majors in the liberal arts. Topics include the study of polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, logarithmic and absolute value functions, systems of equations, the theory of polynomial equations, analytic geometry and applications.
