Explores and applies principles and applications of chemistry. Emphasis on measurement, components of matter, atomic and molecular structure, quantitative relationships including foundational stoichiometry, and major classes of chemical reactions. This course CH 221Z is a lecture course; CH 227Z is the laboratory component. Must be coregistered with CH 227Z. Must take both CH 221Z and CH 227Z to meet the lab science requirement.
