4.00 Credits
The chemistry of carbon is explored. The semester begins with a look at the bonding models and nomenclature used to describe carbon-based molecules. A mechanistic approach to the chemistry of alkenes, alkynes, and dienes is used to provide a context for chemical concepts such as nucleophilicity, electrophilicity, stereochemistry, and resonance. Additionally, the role that kinetics and thermodynamics play in determining product distribution is also considered. Students are required to attend the accompanying laboratory, where they will learn how to safely perform many of the chemical transformations discussed in class. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory per week. (formerly PHYS 0201) Prerequisite: CHEM 0111.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of Organic Chemistry I, where the concepts of nucleophilicity, electrophilicity, stereochemistry, and resonance are applied to a variety of organic transformations: substitutions, eliminations, additions, and condensations. In addition to studying the chemistry of carbon-based molecules, time will be devoted to the discussion of analytical techniques - mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, and NMR spectroscopy for example - that are used to examine organic molecules. Where appropriate, biological examples will be used to illustrate the course material. Students are required to attend the accompanying laboratory, where they will learn how to safely perform many of the chemical transformations discussed in class. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory per week. (formerly PHYS 0203) Prerequisite: CHEM 0201.
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamental principles of inorganic chemistry will be discussed. Topics will include nucleogenesis, bonding theory, molecular symmetry and its relationship to vibrational spectroscopy, and electronic structure and its relationship to electromagnetic spectroscopy. Where appropriate, emphasis will be placed on the mechanisms of reactions and the relationship between structure and reactivity. Time permitting, this class may also examine additional topics, for example, the role that inorganic compounds play in biochemistry (bioinorganic chemistry) , or the formation of covalent bonds in metal-carbon compounds (organometallic chemistry) . Prerequisite: CHEM 0111.
-
3.00 Credits
Investigates the structure and properties of matter. The course involves detailed studies of the gas laws, kinetic-molecular theory, thermodynamics, thermochemistry, physical and chemical equilibria, and chemical kinetics. (formerly PHYS 0305) Prerequisites: CHEM 0111, MATH 0106 and PHSC 0127.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of Physical Chemistry I and the investigation of the physical properties of matter. Topics to be covered will be drawn from quantum theory, spectroscopy and statistical mechanics. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHEM 0305.
-
4.00 Credits
Consists of lectures, discussions, and laboratory work, covering the fundamentals of analysis. Study includes gravimetric analysis, volumetric analysis, and the statistical treatment of data. A main aspect of lecture will be the application of equilibrium to acid-base, precipitation, redox, and complex formation reactions. An important objective of the laboratory is the development of good laboratory technique. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory per week. (formerly PHYS 0309) Prerequisite: CHEM
-
3.00 Credits
Addresses the structure and chemical properties of four types of biomolecules: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. Enzyme kinetics and the mechanistic details of enzyme-catalyzed reactions will be considered. Special consideration will be given to the chemical reactions and energy transfers involved in metabolic pathways such as the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the electron transport chain. Emphasis will be placed on the similarities that exist between the apparently disparate chemical transformations that occur in metabolic pathways. Where appropriate, the class will consider the role that organelles play in the chemical transformations discussed. (formerly PHYS 0313) Prerequisite: CHEM 0201.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Involves independent work in chemistry, with the student performing an experimental or theoretical research project under the supervision of a faculty member. May be repeated for credit, but no more than 6 credits may be applied to the major. Prerequisite: permission of instructor.
-
1.00 Credits
Provides students with an opportunity to reflect on and document their growth during their college program. Students will discuss the Department's objectives for the program, evaluate their progress toward achievement of those objectives, and produce a portfolio demonstrating their own development and skills. The portfolio will also serve as a resource for their pursuit of professional positions. (formerly PHYS 0389) Prerequisite: senior standing within the Chemistry Major.
-
2.00 - 15.00 Credits
Offers students the opportunity to explore employment opportunities in chemistry by completing a paid or unpaid internship in a business, non-profit organization, or governmental setting. Each credit of internship should correspond to approximately 40 hours of work. Students will be required to keep a log of their activities during the internship and to complete a reflective paper on their experience at its conclusion. Prerequisite: Open to General Science majors who have completed at least 75 credits.
