  • CHEMISTRY 320: Physical Chemistry I

    3.00 Credits
    Hobart William Smith Colleges

    This course offers a fundamental and comprehensive introduction to kinetics and thermodynamics. Thermodynamics is one of the most powerful tools of science as it is a systematic method for understanding the flow of energy and heat between macroscopic bodies. Thermodynamics focuses on understanding systems at equilibrium and is concerned only with the initial and final state of a system. Kinetics, on the other hand, deals with the time dependence of the molecular system and how quickly or slowly the reaction proceeds. This course also provides a review of various mathematic tools that are widely used in chemistry. Laboratory. Prerequisite: CHEM 280, MATH 131, and PHYS 160 or permission of instructor. (van Giessen, Fall, offered annually)

  • CHEMISTRY 322: Physical Chemistry II

    3.00 Credits
    Hobart William Smith Colleges

    This course explores the realm of the electron, focusing on electron behavior at its most fundamental level. The course focuses on understanding quantum mechanics and how the interaction of radiation and matter gives rise to the spectroscopic instruments so crucially important in modern chemistry. Subjects discussed include wave mechanics, the harmonic oscillator and rigid rotator as models for vibration and rotation, chemical bonding and structure, approximation methods that allow quantum mechanics to be applied to large macromolecular systems, and various types of emission and adsorption spectroscopies. This course also reviews the mathematical tools necessary for understanding physical systems at the atomic and molecular level. Laboratory. Prerequisite: CHEM 280, MATH 131, and PHYS 160 or permission of instructor. (van Giessen, Spring, offered annually)

  • CHEMISTRY 436: Advanced Inorganic Chemistry

    3.00 Credits
    Hobart William Smith Colleges

    The descriptive chemistry of a wide variety of inorganic and organometallic compounds is unified with structure, bonding, and reaction mechanism concepts. Topics such as group theory, metal catalysis, ligand and molecular orbital theory, and bioinorganic chemistry are introduced. Laboratory work provides the opportunity to learn advanced techniques such as inert atmosphere synthesis, NMR, and electrochemistry. Prerequisite: CHEM 218, and either 320 or 322, or permission of instructor. (de Denus, offered alternate years)

  • CHEMISTRY 437: Instrumental Analysis

    3.00 Credits
    Hobart William Smith Colleges

    Analysis is an important part of any chemical investigation. This course examines the theory and practice of typical modern instrumental methods of analysis with emphasis on electrochemical, spectroscopic, and chromatographic techniques. Laboratory. Prerequisites: CHEM 310 and 320. (Bowyer, offered alternate years)

  • CHEMISTRY 448: Biochemistry I

    3.00 Credits
    Hobart William Smith Colleges

    The first part of this course involves the study of the structure, function, and physical properties of biological macromolecules. These include proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, with particular emphasis on the kinetics and mechanisms of enzyme catalysis. The second part of the course deals with carbohydrate metabolic pathways, principles of bioenergetics, electron transport, and oxidative phosphorylation. Laboratory. Prerequisites: CHEM 241, or permission of the instructor. CHEM 320 is highly recommended. (Craig, offered annually)

  • CHEMISTRY 490: Industrial Internship

    1.00 - 3.00 Credits
    Hobart William Smith Colleges

    The internship offers students the opportunity to work on research and development in industrial settings in the Finger Lakes region. Students may elect to take one to three credits in a term. An effort is made to match each student with an industry corresponding to his/her interest. Student work is supervised both by a faculty member and by an industrial supervisor. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor. ( Offered each semester)
