1.00 Credits
The course provides a background and review of those topics necessary for success in organic chemistry. Topics may include bonding, Lewis acid/bases, hybridization, electronegativity, polarizability, 3-D structures, energy profile diagrams, oxidation states, and reaction mechanisms. Carbon containing compounds will be emphasized. Prerequisite: A Chm 120; prerequisite or co-requisite: A Chm 121.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Selected topics from the current chemical literature in selected areas of chemistry.?Particular areas of study to be announced each semester.? Intended for students interested in exploring in depth themes and topics covered in larger lecture courses or topics in addition to those that can be treated in such settings.?May be repeated for credit when the topic varies. Prerequisite(s): permission of the instructor.

3.00 Credits
This interdisciplinary course will focus on viruses and their impact on human society. It will offer a multi-faceted examination of viruses such as Ebola, SARS, West Nile, HPV and HIV, not only as microbes and pathogens, but also as vehicles for the transport of genetic materials, as evolving populations of individuals, as self-assembled nanoscale supramolecular aggregates, and as self-replicating packages of control logic. This will be followed by a wide range of case studies, each of which will connect one virus to some of the complex, capacious and evolving public issues associated with the political, economic, religious, feminist, agricultural, medical, pharmaceutical, and socio-economic implications of its spread. Finally, one virus and the disease it causes, HIV/AIDS, will be used to provide an in-depth example of the evolution of a viral pandemic, from the molecular to the international stage, and the impact of culture, integration and limited international resource allocation on its global ascendance.? For the benefit of chemistry majors taking the course, biological concepts germane to the subject matter will be covered. Only one of A Bio 219 and A Chm 219 may be taken for credit. Prerequisite(s): A Bio 111 and A Chm 121.
-
3.00 Credits
Structure, synthesis, and reactions of the principal classes of organic compounds, stressing the underlying principles of reaction mechanisms and stereochemistry techniques. Prerequisite(s): A Chm 121 or 131 and A Chm 125.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to spectroscopic characteristics or organic compounds; continued classification of “reaction types” exhibited by organic molecules; chemistry of carbonyl compounds; aspects of aromatic chemistry, heterocycles, nitrogen compounds, polymers, and biologically important molecules. Prerequisite(s): A Chm 220.
-
1.00 Credits
Basic techniques of organic chemistry including extraction, crystallization, distillation, and chromatography; physical properties of compounds. Co-requisite(s) or prerequisite(s): A Chm 220.
-
1.00 Credits
Application of basic techniques of organic chemistry to the synthesis and qualitative analysis of organic compounds. Applications of IR and NMR spectroscopy. Prerequisite: A Chm 222. Co-requisite(s) or prerequisite(s): A Chm 221.
-
3.00 Credits
Theory of quantitative analysis based on modern chemical principles. Practical application to typical gravimetric, volumetric, and colorimetric analysis. Two class periods, one laboratory period each week. Prerequisite(s): A Chm 121 or 131 and A Chm 125.
-
3.00 Credits
Chemical principles and concepts leading to understanding the composition and change in the chemical/atmospheric environment; sources and sinks of chemical constituents; chemistry of the troposphere and stratosphere; measurement and theory; greenhouse gases; global pollution and ozone depletion. A Atm 307Z is the writing intensive version of A Atm 307 and A Chm 307; only one may be taken for credit. Does not yield credit toward the major in chemistry. Prerequisite(s): A Mat 113 or 119; A Phy150; and A Chm 121 or 131.
-
3.00 Credits
Behavior of gases chemical thermodynamics (including solution equilibria, phase equilibria and electrochemistry), dynamics of chemical reactions (reactions, mechanisms, theory) and fundamentals of quantum chemistry with focus on chemical bonding, molecular structure and spectroscopy. Prerequisite(s): A Chm 121 or 131; co-requisite(s) or prerequisite(s): A Mat 113 or 119 and A Phy 108. Does not yield credit toward the B.S. major in chemistry.
