2.00 Credits
First of a two-course sequence that offers highly motivated students with strong backgrounds in chemistry the opportunity to study fundamental principles of chemistry in greater depth and breadth than in CH105. Students interested in taking this course should register for CH105. All students enrolled in CH105 will take a readiness exam on the first day of classes to assist the department in advising them for which course, CH105 or CH105H, they are best prepared. Following the exam, students eligible to enroll in CH105H will be given the opportunity to do so. Topics include those listed under CH105 plus emphasis on chemical bonding theories. Laboratory experiments serve to illustrate concepts learned in the classroom. Prerequisites: two years of high school algebra, one year of high school chemistry or CH103, and QR1; successful com pletion of the readiness exam. Three hours of lecture-discussion and one three-hour lab per week. (Fulfills QR2 and natural sciences requirements.) S. Frey, M. Frey, S. Stitzel, R. Nagarajan

4.00 Credits
Continuation of CH 105. Students continue to learn fundamental principles of chemistry that describe the properties of solutions, kinetics, equilibria, acids and bases, electrochemistry, and thermodynamics. Laboratory experiments serve to illustrate concepts learned in the classroom. Prerequisites: CH105 or 105H. Three hours of lecture-discussion and one three-hours lab per week. S. Frey, M. Frey, S. Stitzel, R. Nagarajan

4.00 Credits
Continuation of CH105H; offers highly motivated students with strong chemistry backgrounds the continued opportunity to explore fundamental principles of chemistry in greater depth and breadth than is possible in CH106. Topics include those listed under CH106 and an introduction to the instructor's area of expertise. Laboratory experiments serve to illustrate concepts learned in the classroom. Prerequisites: CH105 or 105H. Three hours of lecture-discussion and one three-hour lab per week. S. Frey, M. Frey, S. Stitzel, R. Nagarajan

3.00 Credits
Study of the fundamental concepts of chemistry for motivated students who have a strong background in chemistry and intend to major in the natural sciences. Topics include atomic theory, chemical equilibria, acids and bases, electrochemistry, kinetics and bonding theories. Emphasis is placed on active student participation and class discussion of course material. In addition, students are required to carry out an honors project (e.g., a written paper or poster) that involves library research on a topic in chemistry, proper citation of sources, and formal presentation to chemistry faculty and students. Laboratory experiments emphasize modern research techniques and instrumentation and prepare students for exploratory lab projects at the honors level that students complete during the last two weeks of the semester. Training in scientific writing will be an integral part of the laboratory experiences. Three hours of lecture-discussion and three hours of laboratory a week. Prerequisites: Consent of the department based on an online diagnostic exam administered during the summer, and QR1 results. Prepares students for CH207H and CH221. (Fulfills the natural science and QR2 requirements.) S. Frey, R. Nagarajan

3.00 Credits
A study of the chemical makeup of food and nutrients, and their biochemical functions. Different food processing techniques and their effects on the chemical, physical, and biological properties of food will be discussed. The chemical basis of flavor, composition of some common flavor ingredients, and the role of flavor in nutrient assimilation will be explored. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. Prerequisite: QR1. (Fulfills natural sciences requirement; fulfills QR2 requirement.)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of fundamental chemical principles as they relate to environmental issues such as air pollution, acid rain, global warming, destruction of the ozone layer, the production and consumption of energy, and water pollution. A basic understanding of chemical principles and practices is necessary to fully appreciate the scope and complexity of current global environmental issues. Specific examples of international environmental problems are presented as case studies to reinforce the course material. Chemical concepts such as atomic structure, bonding, themodynamics, nuclear chemistry, and chemical reactivity are introduced as they pertain to particular environmental issues. Prerequisite: QR1. (Fulfills QR2 requirement.) S. Frey, J. Halstead, S. Stitzel

3.00 Credits
Intermediate-level, topic-based, honors courses that offer highly motivated students the opportunity to refine their critical thinking and quantitative problem-solving skills while examining an area of special interest in the field of chemistry. Specific topics may vary from year to year. The topic offered during a given semester is listed in master schedule. Descriptions of the various topics can be found on the Chemistry Department's Web site. Three hours of lecture-discussion and one three-hour lab per week. Prerequisites: CH107 or permission of the department. The Department

5.00 Credits
The structures, physical properties, reactivity, and reaction mechanisms of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons are investigated. The lab introduces the student to synthesis, purification, and chemical and spectroscopic methods of characterizing organic compounds. Prerequisite: CH106, 106H, or 107H. Three hours of lecture-discussion, and four hours of lab a week. R. Giguere, K. Cetto
-
5.00 Credits
The structure, physical properties, reactivity, and reaction mechanisms of important organic functional groups are investigated. The lab work focuses on structure determination and synthesis projects. Prerequisite: CH221. Three hours of lecture-discussion and four hours of lab a week. R. Giguere, K. Cetto
