Prerequisite:  It is assumed that students enrolled in C101 have had
little (if any) previous chemistry classes.  If you have had some,
the earlier material in the course might be familiar.

NMNS	C101 is an introduction to chemistry and is taken
concurrently with C121.  The two sequences, C101-C121 and C102-C122,
usually satisfy programs that require only two semester of
chemistry.  Admission to advanced courses on the basis of C101-C121
and C102-C122 is granted only in exceptional cases.  There is both a
lecture and a discussion associated with C101.

Topics covered:  Elements, ions, atomic and molecular structure,
chemical reactions, solutions, equilibrium, acids and bases.

Credit is given for one of the following:  C100, C101, C105, C117,
or S105.
