3.00 Credits
A study of the properties and the particulate nature of matter, the language of chemistry, the periodic table, atomic and molecular structure, and the energy changes that accompany chemical reactions. The laboratory program will involve investigation of chemical systems, analysis and interpretation of both qualitative and quantitative data, as well as communication of the results. CHE 111 is for students who have not had a previous course in chemistry or whose performance on a placement test has demonstrated the need for additional preparation in chemistry prior to taking CHE 117. (This course cannot be used as part of a chemistry major or minor.) Offered Fall Semester.
-
3.00 Credits
A course emphasizing stoichiometry, chemical equilibria, acids and bases, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, nuclear phenomena, and interactions of science and society. In the laboratory program students will investigate chemical systems, analyze observations and data, devise explanations, and communicate results. Prerequisites: one year of high school chemistry and an acceptable score on a placement test or completion of CHE 111 with a grade of C- or better. Offered Fall and Spring semesters.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the energetics of the bonding and reactions of inorganic compounds. Emphasis is given to the periodicity of the chemical and physical properties of the elements. Major themes of the course include effective nuclear charge, lattice energy, charge density, acid/base theories, and the descriptive chemistry of all of the elements. The laboratory includes the investigation of the energetics of reactions, the synthesis and analysis of coordination compounds, qualitative chemistry, and the communication of results. Prerequisite: CHE 117 with a grade of C- or better. B. Kail. P. Smith.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the theoretical foundation and skills necessary for the solution of problems encountered in the area of quantitative chemical analysis, including classical and modern methods. Emphasis is given to the evaluation and presentation of data, sampling, equilibrium dynamics of analytically important reactions, experimental design, volumetric techniques, absorption and emission spectroscopy, electrochemical methods, and analytical separations. Examples and laboratory exercises will include environmental air, soil and water systems. Prerequisites: CHE 117, and MTH 141. H. Boylan. ( Also listed as ES 230.)
-
3.00 Credits
An overview of organic chemistry. Organic molecules are compared by their functional group, focusing on nomenclature, physical properties, and the major chemical reactions used in synthesis and identification. Emphasis is also given to the areas of acidity, basicity, stereochemistry, aromaticity, and spectroscopy. Laboratory activities involve techniques for determination of physical and chemical properties, and methods of purification. Offered Fall Semester. Prerequisite: CHE 117. H. Boylan, B. Kail, T. Sherwood, P. Smith.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of organic reactivity. This course details organic molecules by reactivity and emphasizes the differences between organic reactions. Specifically, organic reactions will be surveyed by type of reaction keying on the movement of electrons, molecular orbitals, and energetics. Spectroscopy is employed to monitor structural changes. Laboratory activities also probe the reactivity of molecules and explore the relationship between structure and reactivity. Offered Spring Semester. Prerequisite: CHE 261. B. Kail, T. Sherwood.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of introductory quantum chemistry, chemical bonding, atomic and molecular spectroscopy, and time-dependant processes. Prerequisites: CHE 117, PHY 152, and MTH 151. Offered Fall Semester, alternate years. M. Joseph.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the macroscopic behavior of matter. Topics include the laws of thermodynamics, phase transitions, solutions, chemical reactions, and chemical equilibrium. Prerequisites: CHE 117, PHY 152 and MTH 151. Offered Fall Semester, alternate years. M. Joseph.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of modern instrumentation used in the investigation of chemical systems. The theory, design, and application of spectroscopic, electrochemical, and surface analysis techniques are discussed. Basic electronics and the relationship between signal and noise are also discussed. Offered Fall Semester, alternate years. Prerequisites: CHE 230 and PHY 142 or 152. H. Boylan.
-
2.00 Credits
A project-oriented, two-semester laboratory program that integrates methods and techniques normally taught as the laboratory experiences of various upper-level courses. Included are various forms of spectroscopy and chromatography, advanced synthetic techniques, and other methods. This course includes participation in the weekly seminar. Offered Fall and Spring semesters, respectively. Prerequisites: CHE 180, CHE 230 and CHE 262.
