      Prerequisites: Placement into Mathematics 115 and satisfactory performance on the chemistry placement exam or grade of C- or higher in Chemistry 111. An introduction to the principles which govern the behavior of chemical and physical systems. Among topics discussed are elements, compounds and the periodic table; chemical reactions and stoichiometry; thermochemistry; atomic theory; quantum theory of atoms and molecules; chemical periodicity; bonding and molecular structure; organic compounds. Laboratory exercises stress development of proper experimental technique and interpretation of empirical data. Intended for students majoring in the natural sciences, engineering, or pre-health sciences and for non-majors who want or need a more challenging introductory course in chemistry.

      Lab for the course CHM 121 Principles of Chemistry I.
    • 4.00 Credits

      Prerequisite: Grade if C- or higher in Chemistry 122. An introduction to the chemistry of carbon compounds. Nomenclature (IUPAC) and chemistry principles of both aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and heteroatomic functional groups are emphasized. Physical and chemical properties, synthetic mechanisms, and spectroscopic properties, and organic chemical synthetic methods are studied for each of the major functional groups. Emphasis is placed on modern tools by which structural and mechanistic properties are discovered: infrared, proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectrometry. Laboratory experiments employ the microscale approach and concentrate on separation methods (column, thin-layer and gas chromatography) and chemical characterization techniques. Single-step synthetic conversions and spectral analysis of products are emphasized in the laboratory.

      Lab for the course CHM 223 Organic Chemistry I.
    • 4.00 Credits

      Prerequisite: Grade of C- or higher in both Chemistry 224 and Biology 221 or permission of instructor. Fundamental concepts of biochemistry and molecular biology are integrated in a study of the structural chemistry of biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates), thermodynamics, kinetics, introductory metabolism, and the flow of genetic information. The techniques-based laboratory component of the course covers modern methods for separation, purification, detection, and structural analysis of proteins and nucleic acids.
