CHM 135H is designed to provide afoundationinphysicalchemistryforstudentswhointendtofollowascienceprogram,primarilyintheLifeorHealthSciences.AlongwithCHM136H(IntroductoryOrganicChemistryI),thesearealsotherecommendedcoursesforthoseapplyingforentryintoprofessionalprograms.CHM135HandCHM136HarealsoacceptableforadmissiontoanyoftheundergraduateprogramsofferedbytheDepartmentofChemistry.High-schoollevelChemistrySCH4UandMathematicsMHF4U+MCV4Uortheirequivalentsarepre-requisitesforCHM135H,andthiscourseisapre-requisiteforCHM136H.
