1.00 Credits
Designed to meet the needs of science majors and the prehealth program, as well as those seeking a rigorous introduction to chemistry as part of their liberal-arts education. Introduces fundamental chemical concepts and applies them to a discussion of structure, bonding and reactivity of molecules. Knowledge of high-school algebra is necessary; high-school chemistry and physics are helpful, but not required. The laboratory teaches techniques of chemical experimentation and methods of chemical analysis. In-class and final exams, laboratory reports and quizzes.
-
1.00 Credits
Discusses the chemistry of carbon and its compounds. The structures and reactions of related classes of organic molecules are systematically studied with emphasis on reaction mechanism and structural factors that affect reactivity. Principle topics covered include molecular structure and geometry, acid/base chemistry, stereochemistry, fundmental reaction mechanisms, substitution, elimination and addition reactions, along with oxidation and reduction. The laboratory concentrates on the preparation and physical, spectroscopic and chemical properties of these classes of compounds. In-class and final exams, laboratory reports.
Prerequisite:
CHEM 102 , CHEM 103 or advanced placement
-
1.00 Credits
Continuation of CHEM 131. Additional topics covered include free radical chemistry, chemistry of carbonyl compounds (aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acid family), extended molecular orbitals and conjugation, aromatic substitution caronyl condensation reactions, amines, multi-step synthesis, and synthetic polymers.
-
1.00 Credits
This course will examine the applications of laboratory and field-sampling techniques to important issues in environmental chemistry. Fundamental environmental chemistry concepts, such as equilibrium theory and pollutant transport, will be introduced before field sampling is done according to EPA procedures. Laboratory analysis of the samples will emphasize an understanding of modern chemical analysis techniques and the limitations of each method.
Prerequisite:
Two semesters of a sicence course with laboratory component.
-
1.00 Credits
Deals with theories of structure and bonding and their utility in explaining the chemistry of inorganic substances, especially compounds of transition metals. Topics include: molecular orbital, valence bond, and crystal field theories of bonding and examples of the use of theories in explaining the structure and reactivities of inorganic molecules; acid base theory; spectroscopic methods; and kinetics. Emphasis is placed on the interpretation of structure and reactivity in terms of basic molecular and atomic parameters. In-class and final exams, laboratory reports.
Prerequisite:
CHEM 132 or CHEM 134 and CHEM 140 or CHEM 244.
-
1.00 Credits
CHEM 260 covers thermodynamics and kinetics. Topics include the gas law, kinetic theory of gases, the laws of thermodynamics, Gibbs and Helmholtz energies and their applications, electrolyte and nonelectrolyte solutions, phase equilibria, chemical equilibria, and chemical kinetics.
Prerequisite:
MATH 121 or MATH 125, CHEM 132 or CHEM 134, PHYS 111; or PHYS 121.
-
1.00 Credits
This course is designed as an introduction to polymer science, incorporating previous knowledge from organic chemistry, basic inorganic chemistry and physical chemistry to illustrate the key aspects governing the structure-property relationships of macromolecules. An overview of both traditional and state of the art polymer synthesis and polymer characterization techniques will be provided. Several examples from primary scientific literature will serve to integrate the concepts covered in class and will expose the student to relevant technological advances that rely heavily on polymer science. This course seeks to provide students with a broad perspective on how chemistry can be used as the primary tool for developing new materials or modifying existing polymer systems to achieve specific performance targets.
Prerequisite:
CHEM 132 or CHEM 134 , CHEM 260 (or CHEM 264) or permission of instructor.Completion of CHEM 231, CHEM 250 and CHEM 262 are recommended, but not required for graduate students.
-
1.00 Credits
Deals with the application of analytical tools widely used in the laboratory. Topics include NMR, EPR, IR, Raman, UV-visible, mass and fluorescence spectroscopy, chromatography, electrophoresis, electrochemistry and other techniques. Emphasizes practical knowledge for data interpretation and instrument operation. Quarter-credit courses lasting four to five weeks are offered periodically.
Prerequisite:
CHEM 262 or CHEM 264 or permission.
-
