| (4 cr.) Students engage in active learning techniques to
learn about atomic theory (including
radioactivity), bonding (including ions and
molecules) and intermolecular forces, states of
matter, solutions (including solubility, acids and
bases, buffers, electrolytes and nonelectrolytes),
carbon compounds and functional groups,
biomolecules (such as carbohydrates, fatty acids,
and amino acids and proteins), receptors and
enzymes, and nucleic acids and DNA. Students apply
these fundamental chemical principles to a variety
of health related case studies. A math placement
score of 3 or higher is required to enroll in CHE
106. (Students with scores below a 3 must complete
MA 107 with a grade of C or higher to improve
proficiency in algebraic skills before enrolling
in CHE 106.)(Enrollment restricted to nursing
