CHEM 1003

An introduction to the chemistry in our everyday lives. Chemistry surrounds us and is in us. It is hoped that this course will give students a taste of the beauty and complexity of some of the substances and reactions in our homes, in the air we breathe and water we drink, and in the materials we use every day, so that they can be more informed citizens and more protective of our environment. The course will be non quantitative and is aimed primarily at non-science majors. Note: This course may not be counted towards the requirements of a major or minor in chemistry.
