STUDENT OUTCOMES
Indicate the desirable results that can be expected to occur
from the course experience. These are usually
expressed in measurable and observable terms.
1. Recognize and use chemical symbols for elements and compounds.
(b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, n, o, p)
2. Balance simple chemical equations. (a, b, c, d, g, h, i, l, m)
3. Solve problems using units in dimensional analysis including kilo-, centi-, milli- metric
prefixes, along with simple English/metric conversions. (a, b, c, d, f, g, h, i, l, m)
4. Express and manipulate numbers using scientific notation and significant figures.
(a, b, c, d, e, g, h, i, l,)
5. Appreciate why measured quantities need to be expressed using significant figures.
(a, b, d, s)
6. Relate energy changes to chemical equations. (a, b, c, d, f, g, h, I, l, m, n)
7. Describe the basic structure of atoms and ions and relate them to their location on
Periodic Table, their charge, and the number of fundamental particles.
(a, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p)
8. Relate physical and chemical properties to the Periodic Table, including metals, nonmetals, metalloids, group names, ionic charge, valence electrons.
(a, c, d, e, g, h, k, l, m, n, o, p, q)
9. Demonstrate an understanding of the basics of chemical bonding including polarity of
diatomic molecules. (a, c, d, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, o, p, q, r)
10. Demonstrate a working knowledge of inorganic nomenclature.
(a, c, d, g, h, i, k, l, m, n, o ,p, q)
11. Describe the states and properties of matter. (a, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, r, s )
12. Demonstrate an understanding of the mole and Avogadro’s number.
(a, b, c, d, g, h, k, l, m, q)
13. Perform gram/mole conversions and perform mole/mole stoichiometric calculations.
(b, c, f, g, h, i, j, l, m, n, q)
14. Make and interpret graphs. (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, I, j, k, l, m, n)
15. Use chemical vocabulary appropriately. (a, c, d, f, g, h, I, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q)
