4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 100, 106, or 111. This service-learning course teaches the development of hands on laboratory activities to fulfill physical science goals required by the science standards of learning (SOL) for Virginia’s public schools. Students create instructional science experiments for chosen age levels to explore and implement activities with school children in Lexington City and Rockbridge County school classrooms. Students visit at least two different classrooms. Primarily a laboratory course. LaRiviere.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the structure of molecules as well as their inter- and intramolecular interactions, with an emphasis on those species of importance to food and cooking. Chemical reactivity as it relates to cooking, food preservation, and spoilage is also discussed. Coursework includes cooking and food-based experiments as well as field trips to local food production facilities. This course may not be taken for credit by students who have received credit for Chemistry 295 when the topic was culinary chemistry. France.

3.00 Credits
This seminar initially reviews the science and technology leading to the development and production of the first nuclear weapons. It then examines the decision to use the atomic bomb against Japan. The final portion of the course addresses the political, social, and environmental legacies of these weapons. Students write a series of short papers, based on their reading of primary and secondary sources, that form the basis for group discussions throughout the seminar. A term paper is required. Not a laboratory course. Settle.

3.00 Credits
This course examines the role of nuclear power as a current and future source of energy. Topics include introduction to science and technology of nuclear reactors; the nuclear fuel cycle and nuclear waste; the history of nuclear power generation in the U.S. and other nations, economic, legal, and environmental issues; the risks associated with proliferation of nuclear weapons and terrorist attacks; and a comparison of nuclear power with other sources of energy. Settle.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: An average grade of 2.5 or better in CHEM 111 and 112 or permission of the department. General theory of organic chemistry directed toward the basic functional groups of organic compounds. Laboratory work includes the preparation of typical organic compounds. This is the first course of a sequence which will satisfy the entrance requirements of all medical schools. Laboratory course with fee. France.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: An average grade of 3.0 or better in CHEM 111 and 112 or the equivalent, a 3.000 cumulative grade-point average, and permission of the International Education Committee. General theory of organic chemistry directed toward the basic functional groups of organic compounds. Laboratory work includes the preparation of typical organic compounds. This is the first course of a sequence which will satisfy the entrance requirements of all medical schools. Taught at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland with final grade assigned by W&L faculty member. Laboratory course. France.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 241 or 241S. A continuation of CHEM 241, including an introduction to organic spectroscopic methods. Laboratory course with fee. France.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite or corequisite: CHEM 242. Introduction to mass spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy and proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, including two-dimensional techniques. Emphasis is on interpreting spectra to determine structures of organic molecules. Laboratory work uses the instruments to identify unknown organic molecules. Laboratory course with fee. Alty.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CHEM 260 or 261; pre- or corequisite: CHEM 243. A survey of main group and transition metal chemistry, as well as fundamentals of point group symmetry and of the major metalloproteins, metalloenzymes, and medicinal inorganic compounds. Main group chemistry is discussed from the perspective of the “classic” compounds from the alkali metals, the alkaline earths, the boron family, the carbon family, the pnicogens, the chalcogens, the halogens, and the noble gases. Transition metal chemistry will be examined from the standpoint of characteristic coordination geometries, kinetics and mechanism, electron transfer (inner and outer sphere), and catalysis. Uffelman.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CHEM 112 and MATH 102. Prerequisite or corequisite: PHYS 111. An introduction to the application of thermodynamics and chemical kinetics of biological systems. Topics include enzyme kinetics, the thermodynamics of metabolic cycles, and the conformational energetics of biomolecules, especially protein folding. Desjardins.
