CHEM 1405 Introduction to Chemistry
An introduction to the basic concepts of chemistry. Includes the metric system, atomic structure, the periodic table, ionic and covalent bonding, nomenclature of chemical elements and compounds, balancing chemical reactions, oxidation/reduction, states of matter, and solution concentrations. Some fundamental mathematical concepts crucial to chemistry are also covered. Does not count as science credit for degrees in sciences and engineering. Prerequisite: Two years high school Algebra or MATD 0390.
CHEM 1411 General Chemistry I
Covers the fundamental facts, laws, principles, theories, and concepts of chemistry necessary for further work in science or science-related subjects. Stresses atomic structure, periodic properties of matter, chemical bonding, and molecular geometry of organic and inorganic molecules, states of matter, stoichiometry, and properties of solutions. Prerequisite: One year of high school chemistry or CHEM 1405; two years of high school algebra or MATD 0390.
CHEM 1412 General Chemistry II
A continuation of CHEM 1411. Stresses the quantitative aspects of kinetics, chemical equilibria, acid-base theories, coordination complexes, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. Includes introductions to organic chemistry and nuclear chemistry. Prerequisite: CHEM 1411 and MATH 1314.
CHEM 2423 Organic Chemistry I
An introduction to the chemistry of carbon compounds. An integration of aromatic and aliphatic compounds treating the principal classes of each. Emphasis on molecular structure theory, stereochemistry, structure and reactivity, and reaction mechanisms. Prerequisite: CHEM 1412.
CHEM 2425 Organic Chemistry II
A continuation of CHEM 2423. Emphasis on the classes of aliphatic and aromatic compounds not previously discussed; spectroscopy; the use of instrumentation in organic chemistry; and introduction to the chemistry of carbohydrates, amino acids, proteins, and natural products. Qualitative analysis included in the laboratory work. Prerequisite: CHEM 2423.
