Chemistry

This is a survey course of general chemistry for students who do not intend to major in science or engineering and may not be substituted for CHM 111. The lecture will emphasize the facts, principles, and theories of general chemistry, including math operations, matter, and energy, atomic structure, symbols and formulas, nomenclature, the periodic table, bonding concepts, equations, reactions, stoichiometry, gas laws, phases of matter, solutions, and acids and bases. Laboratory is required.

This is a survey course of organic chemistry and biochemistry for students who do not intend to major in science or engineering. It will not substitute for CHM 112. Topics include basic nomenclature, classification of organic compounds, typical organic reactions, reactions involved in life processes, and the function of biomolecules. Laboratory is required.

This is the first course in a two-semester sequence designed for science or engineering majors who are expected to have a strong background in mathematics. Topics in this course include measurement, nomenclature, stoichiometry, atomic structure, equations and reactions, basic concepts of thermochemistry, chemical and physical properties, bonding, molecular structure, gas laws, kinetic-molecular theory, condensed matter, solutions, colloids, and some descriptive chemistry topics. Laboratory is required.

This is the second course in a two-semester sequence designed primarily for science and engineering students who are expected to have a strong background in mathematics. Topics in this course include solutions, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibria, thermodynamics, oxidation-reduction, and selected topics. Laboratory is required. 

This is the first course in a two-semester sequence. Topics include nomenclature, structure, physical and chemical properties, synthesis, and typical reactions for organic compounds, with special emphasis on reaction mechanisms and stereochemistry. Laboratory is required.
