CHEM 14AE
General Chemistry for Life Scientists I—Enhanced
Chemistry and Biochemistry · 4 units · Undergraduate lower division (0-99)
Not open to students with credit for course 14A or 20A. Study of foundations of chemistry. Discussion of foundations of quantum mechanics and how these principles can be used to understand atomic and molecular structure and properties; how molecules interact; and properties of inorganic, organic, and biological acids, bases, and salts. Biological, environmental, and socially-relevant examples are used to illustrate central role that chemistry plays in our world. Emphasis on developing problem-solving skills and collaborative interaction and learning.
