3.00 Credits
A descriptive study of the compounds of carbon. This course will illustrate the principles of organic chemistry with material relevant to students in biology. Topics include nomenclature, mechanism, alkanes, arenes, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates and other naturally occurring compounds. This course is designed for students who require only one semester of organic chemistry, and is not intended for students planning to enroll in chemistry courses numbered 220 or above. Three hours of lecture, one hour of discussion, and one three-hour laboratory period each week. Prerequisite: CHEM 111. Not open for credit to students who have received credit for CHEM 220.

An introduction to the chemistry of the compounds of carbon. Topics include structure and bonding, nomenclature, conformational analysis, stereochemistry, substitution and elimination chemistry, alkenes, alkynes, IR spectroscopy and organic synthesis. Techniques for the synthesis, purification and characterization of organic compounds are introduced in the laboratory. Three hours of lecture and one four-hour laboratory period each week. Prerequisite: CHEM 111.
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of CHEM 220 with emphasis on the synthesis and characterization of organic compounds. Topics include the chemistry of alcohols, dienes, arenes, and carbonyl compounds, NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and radical chemistry. The laboratory work includes multi-step syntheses, mechanistic studies and characterization of organic compounds using a variety of spectroscopic techniques. Three hours of lecture and one four-hour laboratory period each week. Prerequisite: A grade of C- or better in CHEM 220.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of energy in chemistry and its reactions, including in-depth gas laws, thermodynamics, phases and physical transformations of pure substances and mixtures, equilibrium, electrochemistry, and statistical mechanics. The laboratory involves physicochemical measurements of thermodynamic properties. Three hours of lecture and one four-hour laboratory period each week. Prerequisites: CHEM 111, MATH 129, PHYS 225-226; or consent of instructor.

3.00 Credits
A continuation of CHEM 330 with emphasis on time and structure in chemistry and its reactions. Topics include molecular motion, rates of reactions and kinetics, molecular reaction dynamics, quantum mechanics, atomic and molecular structure and their relation to spectroscopy. The laboratory introduces kinetics and quantum mechanics experiments, as well as student projects. Three hours of lecture and one four-hour laboratory period each week. Prerequisite: CHEM 330.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the fundamental methods of gravimetric, volumetric and elementary instrumental analysis together with practice in laboratory techniques and calculations of these methods. Three hours of lecture and two three-hour laboratory periods each week. Prerequisite: CHEM 111 or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of modern theories of atomic and molecular structure and their relationship to the chemistry of selected elements and their compounds. Three hours of lecture and one four-hour laboratory period each week. Prerequisites: CHEM 330, MATH 129, and one year of physics; or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to the basic concepts and principles of quantum theory. Solutions to the free particle, the simple harmonic oscillator, the hydrogen atom, and other central force problems are presented using the Schrodinger wave equation approach. Topics also include operator formalism, eigenstates, eigenvalues, the uncertainty principles, stationary states, representation of wave functions by eigenstate expansions, and the Heisenberg matrix approach. Four hours of lecture. Prerequisites: Either PHYS 226 or CHEM 331, and MATH 231. Cross-listed as PHYS 439.
-
3.00 Credits
Theory and application of modern synthetic organic chemistry. Topics may include oxidationreduction processes, carbon-carbon bond forming reactions, functional group transformations, and multi-step syntheses of natural products (antibiotics, antitumor agents, and antiviral agents). Three hours of lecture and one four-hour laboratory period. Prerequisite: CHEM 221.
-
4.00 Credits
Theory and application of the identification of organic compounds. Special emphasis will be placed on the utilization of spectroscopic techniques (H-NMR, C-NMR, IR, UV-VIS, and MS). Three of hours lecture and one four-hour laboratory period each week. Prerequisite: CHEM 221.
