CHM 500 — Chm-Nutritn Sciences
Principles of general chemistry with applications to biological systems and processes. Intended for students who wish to pursue a career in nutrition or other health-related fields. Not open to students who have completed CHM 01100. Utilization of the metric system, conversions, physical and chemical properties of matter, chemical nomenclature, symbolism, atomic and molecular structure, nuclear processes, the basics of chemical bonding and reactions, stoichiometry, and the properties of the states of matter, solids, liquids and gases. Students will also be introduced to the chemistry of solutions and colloids, acids and bases, which are integral in nutritional processes. Students will be able to proceed on to organic chemistry courses in health related fields.
