3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Completion of CHEM 2411 with a grade of C or higher. Co-requisite: CHEM 2422L The second course will systematically explore reactions of carbon-containing compounds and the mechanistic pathways involved in these processes. Reactions that will be discussed include functional group transformations, oxidation, reductions, cycloadditions, and carbon-carbon bond formation. The course begins to teach the student how to systematically design a multi-step synthesis of complex organic compounds. Same as CHEM 3422.
-
1.00 Credits
Co-requisite: CHEM 2422 Emphasis of this laboratory will be on synthesis and characterization of organic substances.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 1212K Categories of hazardous chemicals, their origin, impact on society, state and federal regulations, handling, storage, and disposal will be discussed. Case studies of hazardous chemicals will include asbestos, lead, polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, and batteries. Regulations, particularly RCRA, CERCLA, OSHA, TSCA, SARA, NEPA, HMTA, and CWA, will be discussed. Same as ENVS 3010. Students should be aware that a heavy writing component is required for this course.

3.00 Credits
Case-oriented approach will be used to explore selected topics of forensic science. These include (1) the scientifi c and technological foundation for the examination of evidence; (2) the scope of expert qualifi cations and testimony, the legal status of scientifi c techniques, and the admissibility of the results in evidence; (3) the analysis of trace evidence, including glass, soil, hair, fi bers, gunpowder residues, and bullet fragments; (4) forensic toxicology and pharmacology are applied to the analysis of alcohol, poisons, and drugs; and (5) the characterization of blood and other body fl uids. The cases which stimulate the exploration of these areas include the O.J. Simpson case, the John Kennedy assassination, the Jeffrey MacDonald case (Fatal Vision), the Wayne Williams case, the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, the Lindberg baby kidnapping, and the Tylenol poisonings. Not applicable for major or minor credit in chemistry.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: SOCI 1101 or consent of department An examination of the current and historical patterns of alcohol, drug use, abuse, and control. Emphasis will be given to the patterns of usage, the way these drugs affect the body, and types of rehabilitation centers. Not applicable for major or minor credit in chemistry. See CRIM 3242. COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES 183
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 1212K or CHEM 1230K and MATH 1634 This course introduces the more rigorous and demanding techniques of chemical analysis used by professional analytical chemists. The topics included are error analysis, chemical equilibria, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and chromatography. Topics will be briefl y introduced and explored more thoroughly in an integrated lecture/laboratory format using well-crafted laboratory exercises and experiments. Students should be aware that a heavy writing component is required for this course.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Completion of CHEM 2422, MATH 2644, PHYS 1112 or 2122. A grade of C or higher must be achieved in MATH 1634 and MATH 2644.. This course is a survey course for students who do not need the more rigorous full-year sequence in physical chemistry. The course includes thermodynamics, chemical and phase equilibria, electrochemistry, kinetics, and other topics in physical chemistry.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Completion of PHYS 2212. Completion of MATH 1634 and MATH 2644 with a grade of C or higher. Co-requisite: MATH 3303 This course is an introduction to elementary quantum mechanics and its applications to selected chemical systems. Topics include an introduction to operators, "particle in a box", harmonic oscillator, atomic structure, chemicalbonding, atomic spectroscopy, rotational, vibrational and electronic spectroscopy of small molecules, and elementary statistical mechanics.
