Topics include the ozone layer, global warming, acid rain, nuclear fission and fusion, nutrition, water as a natural resource, fossil and solar energy, and others. Special attention is paid to the social, economic and political contexts in which society deals with these issues. Models of chemical structure and bonding are developed as well as the basic concepts of thermodynamics, kinetics, and acid-base relationships. Taught: Annually. Prerequisite: None. High school chemistry is not required. Note: You may not take CHEM 1100 if you have already completed CHEM 1130: General Chemistry I.
