4.00 Credits
4 Cr. Three hours lecture/four hours lab per week. Survey of the structure, bonding, properties, and reactions of the elements and their compounds. Review of elementary bonding concepts; atomic states; MO theory; molecular modeling; symmetry concepts; introduction to coordination chemistry; periodic properties; acid-base, REDOX behavior; the s- and p-block elements; solid state structure and properties. The laboratory will emphasize advanced techniques of synthesis and characterization, especially inert atmosphere synthesis, kinetic, spectroscopic, magnetic, and electrochemical characterization of inorganic compounds. Prerequisite: 360.
-
3.00 Credits
3 Cr. Three hours lecture per week. Modern structural concepts and bonding theories. The structure, properties, and reactions of coordination complexes and organometallic compounds; spectra of coordination compounds; magnetic properties of coordination compounds; bio-inorganic chemistry. Prerequisite: 450.
-
3.00 Credits
3 Cr. Three hours lecture per week. Advanced concepts in theoretical chemistry. Topics include statistical thermodynamics, methods of quantum mechanics, approximation methods, modeling of molecular structure, and atomic and molecular spectra. Prerequisite: 362.
-
4.00 Credits
4 Cr. Three hours lecture/four hours lab per week. A description of basic atmospheric, hydrospheric, biospheric, and geospheric chemistry of the earth. Topics will include the biogeochemical cycles of C, N, P, S, and trace metals; natural waters and water quality; pollution problems including acid rain, stratospheric ozone, xenobiotic chemicals, oil, and hazardous waste; and global environmental change owing to human activities including the enhanced greenhouse effect, deforestation, cultural eutrophication, and loss of natural resources. Laboratory experiences will reinforce and enhance certain lecture topics, and will include air, water, soil, and computer modeling studies. Spectroscopic and chromatographic analyses will be performed. Prerequisites: 330, 360. E, G9

-
3.00 Credits
3 Cr. Three hours lecture per week. Methods of atomic and molecular spectroscopy used in structure determination and analytical studies. Topics include time dependence of excited states, group theoretical methods, UV-VIS spectroscopy, IR and microwave spectroscopy, and magnetic resonance methods. Corequisite: 362.
-
4.00 Credits
5-4 Cr. Courses on topics of interest to chemistry students offered on the basis of need, interest, or timeliness. Prerequisites as determined by instructor. Restricted to students with junior standing or higher. May be repeated for credit.
-
3.00 Credits
1-12 Cr. Non-classroom experiences in the fi eld of chemistry. Placements are off campus and may be full- or part-time and with or without pay. Credit for experiences must be sought prior to occurrence, and learning contracts must be submitted before the end of the fi rst week of the semester. See the experiential learning: internship section of this catalog for more details. Restricted to students with junior standing or higher. Graded CR/NC.
-
4.00 Credits
5-4 Cr. Independent reading and/or research under the guidance of a chemistry faculty member. Refer to the academic policy section for independent study policy. Independent study contract is required. May be repeated for credit.
-
2.00 Credits
1-4 Cr. A student-driven research experience under the supervision of a faculty mentor or an internship director. Two credits will be the standard credit given for this course. Research contracts will be required for everyone who registers, with fewer or additional credits given depending on the approved project and time commitment. Each faculty member will offer one section of this class per year. Prerequisite: grade of C or higher in 397. Permission of the division chairperson required. May be repeated for a maximum of six credits.
