Gain an Introduction General Chemistry
This course covers introductory concepts that will be important to future studies. Topics include atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonding, basic reactions, stoichiometry, and states of matter. Problem-solving is an important part of this course. This course is designed for biology, premedical, prenursing, preclinical and prehealth students.
Learning Objectives
- Gain an understanding of the global connections between chemical cycles and human activities
- Know how chemical theories are applied to understand and model global processes
- Understand how global relations affect the flow of chemical systems in the environment inways that impact your life and the lives of others
- Explain how chemistry impacts human life
Students interested in this course without a lab component, please enroll in: CHEM40006 - General Chemistry I

Tatum, Prima
Dr. Prima R. Tatum is a native of Beaumont, Texas. She started her academic career at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas where she majored in Chemical Engineering before transferring to Texas Southern University (TSU) in Houston, Texas; where she earned a B.S. in Chemistry. Dr. Tatum decided to continue her education in chemistry and she earned a M.S. in Analytical Chemistry, also from Texas Southern University. Her research involved the use of Rhodium as a matrix modifier for the determination of lead concentrations in both biological and aqueous systems using Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption techniques. While Prima was matriculating through the master’s program at TSU, she discovered her interest in organic chemistry. After graduating from Texas...Read More
