Niagara College

Description:

Throughout this course, principles of general chemistry will be introduced in preparation for topics of organic and biochemistry in Advanced Health Chemistry II. This course will enable students to develop their understanding of chemistry through the study of basic measurements and units; matter and energy; atomic theory and periodic trends; nomenclature of ionic and covalent compounds; VSEPR theory; and chemical reactions and quantities. Where possible, examples will be drawn from inorganic, organic, and biochemistry to provide students with a chemical perspective on issues in health science. The laboratory/activity component incorporated within this course is designed to enhance comprehension of theoretical concepts covered in the classroom.
