The introductory CHEM courses were changed in 2002. Students with credit for CHEM 111.3 may take CHEM 221.3, 231.3, 242.3 and 250.3. Students with credit for CHEM 251.3 may take CHEM 255.3.
1/2(3L-3.5P)
Prerequisite(s): Chemistry 30 and Mathematics B30 (or Algebra 30). Mathematics C30 (or Geometry-Trigonometry 30) is strongly recommended.
Structure, bonding and properties of materials. Topics include atoms and molecules, bonding, molecular structure, intermolecular forces, states of matter, and properties of materials such as polymers, natural and synthetic materials, biomaterials, proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, conductors, semiconductors, and insulators. The laboratory illustrates material covered in the lectures.
Note: Students with credit for CHEM 111 or 114 may not take this course for credit.
1(3L/3P)
Prerequisite(s): Chemistry 30, Mathematics B30 (or Algebra 30) and Mathematics C30 (or Geometry-Trigonometry 30)
Topics include atoms and molecules, stoichiometry, bonding, molecular structure, states of matter, chemical reactions, and thermochemistry.
Note: This course is intended for students in the College of Engineering. Students with credit for CHEM 111 or 112 may not take this course for credit.
1/2(3L-3.5P)
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 112 or 114.
Chemical reactions, including the rates and energetics of reactions and specific types of reactions. Topics include stoichiometry, chemical reactions, chemical kinetics, equilibrium, specific reactions, and thermodynamics.
Note: Students with credit for CHEM 111 may not take this course for credit.
1/2(3L-3P-1T)
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 112 or 114.
An introduction to organic chemistry; students will learn to name organic compounds, predict some of the properties and reactivity of compounds based on molecular structure, and grasp the importance of these concepts and their application to all sciences and life in general. Almost all the reactions in living matter involve organic compounds, and it is impossible to understand the molecular processes of living systems without knowing organic chemistry. CHEM 250.3 is intended as a basis for other courses, and a beginning for understanding organic and bio-organic chemistry. The laboratory will introduce students to basic chemical laboratory skills frequently used in organic chemistry.
Note: Students with credit for CHEM 251 may not take this course for credit.
