3.00 Credits
Intended for students with strong preparation in chemistry and high motivation, the course explores central principles in the context of current issues, including health, the environment and public policy. A discovery-based lab component addresses analytical and chemical approaches to environmental chemistry. (Quantitative and Symbolic Reasoning.) Discussion-based course centered on the unifying concepts in chemistry and the use of those concepts to develop critical-thinking skills. Three hours of class and three hours of laboratory. Maximum enrollment, 24. Elgren.
-
3.00 Credits
Structure and bonding of organic compounds and their acid-base properties, stereochemistry, introduction to reactions and reaction mechanisms of carbon compounds and the relationship of reactivity and structure. Three hours of class and four hours of laboratory. Prerequisite, 120 or 125. Rosenstein and Ruppel.
-
3.00 Credits
Chemistry of conjugated alkenes and aromatic and carbonyl compounds, emphasizing mechanism and synthesis; introduction to carbohydrate and amino acid chemistry. Three hours of class and four hours of laboratory. Prerequisite, 190. Rosenstein and Ruppel.
-
3.00 Credits
Topics in inorganic chemistry, including atomic structure and periodicity of the elements, bonding and properties of solid state materials, coordination chemistry and electrochemistry. Laboratories emphasize synthesis and characterization of inorganic coordination compounds, electrochemistry and inorganic materials. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory. Prerequisite, 120 or 125. Chapp.
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of the chemical and physical nature of biological macromolecules, including nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates; biochemistry of enzyme catalysis; bioenergetics and regulatory mechanisms. Principles and techniques of experimental biochemistry, focusing on isolation methods and techniques for analyzing structure and function. Three hours of class and three hours of laboratory.

-
3.00 Credits
Independent work in the research laboratory under supervision of a faculty member. Prerequisite, instructor's signature. May be repeated for credit, but not counted toward concentration requirements. Students may count up to one credit of chemistry research toward graduation. One-quarter, one-half or one credit per semester. No senior concentrators. The Department.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the fundamental concepts and principles of quantum chemistry. Topics include quantum mechanics and the nature of the chemical bond; applications of molecular quantum mechanics; spectroscopy. Laboratory focuses on experiments that lead to the development of quantum mechanics, on molecular modeling and on spectroscopy. Laboratory includes applications to biochemistry. Three hours of class plus laboratory. Prerequisite, 125 or 190, Mathematics 114, Physics 105, 195 or 205. (Same as Biochemistry/Molecular Biology 321.) Van Wynsberghe.
