Presentation

CHEMISTRY (CHEM)
CHEM 1000 Introduction to Chemistry (5)
Principles of chemistry with some applications in inorganic. Chemistry for life science students and other students not requiring a rigorous preparation in theories and principles. CHEM 1000 and CHEM 2300 satisfy full-year requirements for general, organic, and biochemistry. Prerequisite: Placement at math level 3 or above, concurrent enrollment in MATH 0930 , or consent of instructor.

(5 hrs lec, 2 hrs lab)

CHEM 1010 Principles of Chemistry (4)

A one-semester course which covers the development of the fundamental ideas and methods of chemistry as applied to scientific and social problems. A student may not receive credit for both CHEM 1010 and CHEM 1000. Prerequisite: Placement at math level 2.

(3 hrs lec, 2 hrs lab)

CHEM 1020 General Chemistry I (4)

Principles and theories of chemistry, designed for science and related concentrations. Atomic and molecular structures, periodic law, ionic theory, behavior and properties of gaseous, liquid, and solid states of matter, some study of nonmetallic elements. Prerequisite: High school chemistry preferred; concurrent registration in MATH 1400 or above, or equivalent math background, or completion of CHEM 1000.

(4 hrs lec, 3 hrs lab)

CHEM 1030 General Chemistry II (4)

Continues CHEM 1020. Oxidation-reduction reactions, additional nonmetals; groups on the periodic chart. Radioactivity, nuclear chemistry, organic chemistry in latter part of course.

Prerequisite: CHEM 1020.

(4 hrs lec, 3 hrs lab)

CHEM 2230 Quantitative Analysis (4)

Fundamental concepts of quantitative analysis, application and techniques of gravimetric, volumetric, and instrumental analysis. Prerequisite: MATH 1400 or equivalent; CHEM 1000 or CHEM 1030.

(2 hrs lec, 6 hrs lab)

CHEM 2300 Introduction to Organic Chemistry (4)         [Link to syllabus for Spring, 2000]

Reviews pertinent highlights of basic chemistry and deals with nomenclature, structure, reactions, reaction mechanisms, and stereo-chemistry; introduces nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared, ultraviolet and mass spectral analysis of organic compounds. Prerequisite: CHEM 1000, CHEM 1030, or consent of instructor. NOT for students who have taken CHEM 2320 and CHEM 2340.

(5 hrs lec)

CHEM 2320 Organic Chemistry I (4)

The first semester of a continuing course studying aliphatic compounds of carbon. Includes nomenclature, structure, preparation, reactions, reaction mechanisms and stereo chemistry; introduces nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet, infrared, and mass spectral analysis of organic compounds. Prerequisite: CHEM 1020, CHEM 1030, or equivalent.

(3 hrs lec, 3 hrs lab)

CHEM 2340 Organic Chemistry II (4)

Aromatic compounds stressed; emphasizes functional groups of compounds covered first semester along with others. Covers fats, carbohydrates, and proteins in the latter part of course as background for biochemistry. Prerequisite: CHEM 2320.

(3 hrs lec, 3 hrs lab)

CHEM 2465 Introduction to Chemical Research (1-3)

Introduces various methodologies employed in chemical research. Includes literature searches, data collection and analysis, and research report writing. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.

(1-2 hrs lec, 2-6 hrs lab)
