CHEM 10 Honors First-Year General Chemistry
CHEM 10 is a general chemistry course for students with a strong background in chemistry and mathematics who may have an interest in majoring in the sciences. The course will cover selected general chemistry topics important for higher level chemistry courses. These include thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, quantum mechanics, and bonding. Laboratory work will emphasize physico-chemical measurements and quantitative analysis. CHEM 10 is open only to first-year students and enrollment is limited. Students with a score of 5 on the AP Chemistry examination, and who also have credit on entrance (or the equivalent) for Mathematics 3 are automatically eligible to be considered for admission into Chemistry 10. Students who have credit on entrance (or the equivalent) for Mathematics 3, but who do not have a score of 5 on the AP Chemistry examination, and who wish to be considered for Chemistry 10 must take the Chemistry 10 Placement examination which is offered only during First-Year Orientation. Prerequisite: Credit on entrance for CHEM 5, or satisfactory performance on the CHEM 10 Placement examination, and credit on entrance for MATH 3 or the equivalent. Supplementary course fee required. Students who complete Chemistry 10 will also be granted credit on entrance for Chemistry 5, if they have not already been granted such credit.
