1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHM 131 or 134 (which replaced CHM 121 or 124) Offered: Typically Fall and Spring terms A study of the chemistry of carbon compounds: organic acids and bases, alkanes and cycloalkanes, stereochemistry, nucleophilic substitution and elimination, alkenes, and alkynes. Emphasis will be placed on nomenclature, physical and chemical properties, reactivity, and reaction mechanisms. This course meets for three hours of lecture per week with an additional three-hour laboratory session each week. NOTE: Noncredit for students who have completed CHM 321. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHM 221 (formerly 321) Offered: Typically Fall and Spring terms A continuation of the Organic Chemistry two-course sequence. Topics include: the chemistry of aromatic compounds; spectroscopy (NMR, UV/Visible, IR, Mass Spectrometry); alcohols, diols, ethers, aldehydes, and ketones; carboxylic acids and their derivatives; enols and enolates; condensation reactions; and amines. This course meets for three hours of lecture per week with an additional three-hour laboratory session each week. NOTE: Noncredit for students who have completed CHM 322. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Determined by instructor Offered: Typically Fall and Spring terms, at departmental discretion A course designed to meet the particular interests of student and faculty. Topics vary from year to year. See course description in the "Schedule of Classes." NOTE: This course will allow each instructor to offer an advanced course exploring a topic such as spectroscopy (focusing on NMR primarily), electrochemistry (fuel cells and battery technology), biochemistry (including topics such as metabolism, nucleic acids or protein chemistry), or other specialized topics. 1/2 to 1 Course Credit

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHM 131 or 134 (or 121 or 124, no longer offered), and completion or waiver of MAT 135 (formerly 220), or concurrent enrollment Offered: Typically every Spring Term A study of analytical chemistry theory and methods designed for students who are either Chemistry majors or who desire a 4th term of chemistry as an option in lieu of CHM 345. The material is an extension of the content in CHM 131 and 134 with an emphasis on analytical methods. In particular, topics will include complex equilibria, complex acid-base chemistry, activities, error analysis, calibrations, standardizations, obtaining and preparing samples for analysis, gravimetric methods, titrations, electrochemistry, and chemical instrumentation. This course meets three hours with an additional three-hour laboratory session each week. NOTE: Noncredit for students who have completed CHM 341 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHM 222 (formerly 322) Offered: Typically every Fall Term A one-term intensive study of modern biochemistry. The class is comprised of three major sections. In the biomolecules section, students will study amino acids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. In the proteins section, students will study protein structure, function, and enzyme kinetics. Finally, in the metabolism section, students will study glycolysis, the citric-acid cycle, and electron transport/oxidative phosphorylation. This class draws on all four previous classes of chemistry (CHM 131/134, 221, and 222). There will be three hours of lecture each week. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHM 311 (formerly 341); MAT 225; PHY 218 (or concurrent enrollment) or PHY 315; OR permission of instructor Offered: Typically every Spring Term An advanced study of classical thermodynamics and chemical kinetics. Topics include a detailed study of energy, entropy and enthalpy, multi-component phase diagrams, real gases, electrochemical systems, reaction kinetics, and transport processes. The fundamental goal is to achieve a physical description of general chemical phenomena with a strong emphasis on mathematical models. There will be three hours of lecture each week. 1 Course Credit

1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHM 311 (formerly 341), MAT 225, PHY 218 or PHY 315, OR permission of instructor Offered: Typically every Fall Term An advanced study of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics. Topics include in-depth treatment of various fundamental problems in quantum mechanics (particle in a box, rigid rotor, harmonic oscillator), applications of these problems to chemical systems, atomic and molecular orbital theory and structure, spectroscopy, lasers, and statistical mechanics. The fundamental goal is to achieve a physical description of the quantum nature of matter and how this manifests itself in chemical problems. This course relies heavily on mathematical approximations to difficult differential equations and interpretation of these answers in terms of probabilities. There will be three hours of lecture each week. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHM 311 (formerly 341); OR permission of instructor Offered: Typically every Fall Term One of four courses that form the core of the Advanced Laboratory Experience for all Chemistry majors. In each course, students will do the equivalent of five (5) laboratory experiments each term. Four of these experiments will be chosen from a list prepared by the Chemistry Department. The remaining experiment will be one that the student finds in the current chemical literature and attempts to reproduce. Students will need to pay attention to their portfolio requirements in the selection of appropriate experiments. Students often will work in teams under the guidance of senior students. The last week of each term will conclude with a mini research meeting. In each of the four Advanced Laboratory terms, all students will be required to attend at least three research seminars by visiting speakers each term. All students will read an "important paper" in chemistry each term and discuss these with the instructor. 1/2 Course Credit

1.00 - 2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHM 370 and one additional CHM course at the 345-or-higher level (which may be taken concurrently); OR permission of instructor Offered: Typically every Spring Term One of four courses that form the core of the Advanced Laboratory Experience for all Chemistry majors. In each course, students will do the equivalent of five (5) laboratory experiments each term. Four of these experiments will be chosen from a list prepared by the Chemistry Department.
