3.00 Credits
PQ: An average grade of B+ or higher in CHEM 11100-11200-11300 or equivalent, a 5 on the AP Chemistry exam, or consent of the department, and/or via placement exam. Students who have taken CHEM 22000 or 22100 with an average grade of B+ or higher may petition the instructor to move into the Honors sequence. NOTE: Most medical schools require a full academic year of organic chemistry. The fundamental structures of organic molecules and the spectroscopic methods used to define them are studied. A comprehensive understanding of the reactions and properties of organic molecules (from kinetic, thermodynamic, and mechanistic viewpoints) is developed and applied to the synthesis of organic compounds and to an appreciation of nature's important molecules. A lab is one afternoon a week in addition to scheduled class time each quarter. R. Ismagilov, Autumn; M. Mrksich, Winter; S. Kent, Spring. L: V. Keller.

3.00 Credits
PQ: A grade of C or higher in CHEM 22200 or 23200, or consent of instructor. This course addresses the chemical foundations of the biosynthetic pathways for amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and natural products. We emphasize reaction mechanisms in the biosynthesis of these naturally occurring molecules. J. Yin. Autumn.

3.00 Credits
This course presents quantum mechanics, the Schr dinger wave equation with exact and approximate methods of solution, angular momentum, and atomic spectra and structure. D. Mazziotti. Autumn.
-
3.00 Credits
PQ: CHEM 11300 or equivalent; MATH 20100 and PHYS 13300. The application of physical and mathematical methods to the investigation of chemical systems is studied during this three-quarter sequence.
-
3.00 Credits
This course continues the sequence with the study of thermodynamic principles and applications, as well as statistical mechanics. L. Butler. Winter.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a discussion of chemical kinetics and dynamics for processes in gases, in liquids, and at interfaces. K. Y. C. Lee. Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
PQ: CHEM 26100. This course introduces the principles and practice of physical chemical measurements. Techniques used in the design and construction of apparatus are discussed in lectures, and practice is provided through lab exercises and experiments. Subjects covered include vacuum techniques, electronics, optics, use of computers in lab instrumentation, materials of construction, and data analysis. G. Engel. Winter. L.

3.00 Credits
PQ: CHEM 26100-26200, or PHYS 19700 and 23400. The theme for this course is the identification of scientific goals that computation can assist in achieving. We examine problems such as understanding the electronic structure and bonding in molecules, interpreting the structure and thermodynamic properties of liquids, protein folding, enzyme catalysis, and bioinformatics. The lectures deal with aspects of numerical analysis and with the theoretical background relevant to calculations of the geometric and electronic structure of molecules, molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics, and Monte Carlo simulations. The lab consists of computational problems drawn from a broad range of chemical and biological interests. Z. Gasyna. Spring. L.
-
3.00 Credits
PQ: Consent of a faculty sponsor and the undergraduate counselor. Open only to students majoring in chemistry who are eligible for honors. Available for either quality grades or for P/F grading. Students are required to submit the College Reading and Research Course Form. Students conduct advanced, individually guided research. Students may submit a written report covering their research activities for consideration for departmental honors. Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring.

3.00 Credits
PQ: CHEM 20100 and 26300, or consent of instructor. Group theory and its applications in inorganic chemistry are developed. These concepts are used in surveying the chemistry of inorganic compounds from the standpoint of quantum chemistry, chemical bonding principles, and the relationship between structure and reactivity. M. Hopkins. Autumn.
