  • CHEM 405: Advanced Inorganic Chemistry

    3.00 Credits
    Randolph-Macon College

    This course offers chemistry majors an in-depth study of the fundamental principles of inorganic chemistry. Topics such as bonding, molecular geometry, and the chemical reactions of ionic, covalent, and metallic substances will be discussed. Concepts of acid-base chemistry (Bronsted- Lowry, Lewis, Drago, and Lux-Flood systems) will be examined. The student will study the synthesis, structure, properties, and periodic trends of the main-group elements as well as the coordination chemistry and descriptive chemistry, bonding, spectroscopy, thermodynamics, kinetics, and structure of the compounds of the transition elements. Applications to organometallic chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry will be introduced. This course is required for an ACS-approved degree. Prerequisite: CHEM 312 or permission of the instructor. Offered alternate years. Three hours. Mr. Schreiner.

  • CHEM 441L: Advanced Chemistry Laboratory III:Analysis and Characterization

    1.00 - 3.00 Credits
    Randolph-Macon College

    An introduction to the molecular characterization of various classes of compounds. Experimental projects will be drawn from diverse areas of chemistry: organometallics, polymer, bioorganic, bioinorganic, etc. Numerous techniques (for example spectroscopic, electrochemical, or calorimetric) will be used as needed in lab. Students will be expected to demonstrate their understanding of the work done through performance in lab, preparation of written laboratory reports, and oral presentations in class. One threehour laboratory session per week. Prerequisites: CHEM 222, 311 and 342L or permission of the instructor. One hour. Mr. Schreiner.

  • CHEM 496-498: Senior Project

    9.00 Credits
    Randolph-Macon College

    The purpose of this sequence is to allow qualified students to carry out original experimental work. Considerable self-discipline, diligence, and ingenuity on the part of the student are necessary. Students may spend the entire period working on a research project of their own choice, upon approval and under the guidance of the departmental faculty, or on projects designed by and of interest to individual faculty members. In either case, students may be required to use techniques and apparatus which may not have been available to them in other courses. They will be expected to plan and carry out their work on their own initiative to the satisfaction of the faculty member directly involved and of the department.A written thesis and several oral presentations are required. The equivalent of nine hours of laboratory work per week, in addition to time required for library research and thesis preparation, is expected of each student who enrolls in this sequence. The ultimate goal of this training is to impart to each student self-reliance and confidence concerning laboratory research. All qualified students who intend to pursue graduate work in chemistry are urged to enroll in this sequence. Prerequisites: CHEM 325 and 311 and departmental approval. Six hours. Staff.
