UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE COURSES
CHEM 302.3
Registration Info — 2003-2004 Regular Session» Research Seminar
1&2(1L-1P-1S)
Prerequisite(s): 15 credit units in chemistry.

Deals with the non-technical aspects of the science of chemistry. The primary focus is scientific communication, including oral, poster, and written presentations. Other topics include: information retrieval and on-line search techniques; resumes; science and ethics; and the history and philosophy of science. An oral and a poster presentation to the department are required.

CHEM 322.3
Registration Info — 2003-2004 Regular Session» Analytical Chemistry II
1/2(3L-4P)
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 221.

Introduction to modern instrumental methods of chemical analyses. The laboratory is designed to develop basic understanding of common instrumental methods. Topics include chromatography, electrophoresis, electrochemistry and spectroscopy.

CHEM 332.3
Registration Info — 2003-2004 Regular Session» Inorganic Chemistry II
1/2(3L-4P)
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 231.

An introduction to transition metal chemistry including coordination geometry and stereochemistry, ligand field theory, and spectroscopic, magnetic and thermodynamic properties of inorganic compounds. The laboratory work includes experiments on the preparation and characterization of transition metal compounds.

CHEM 342.3
Registration Info — 2003-2004 Regular Session» Physical Chemistry III
1/2(3L-4P)
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 243 and MATH 225.

Theory and practice of atomic and molecular spectroscopy including both optical and magnetic resonance methods. The application of group theory to problems of spectroscopic analyses will be introduced.

Note: Students with credit for CHEM 349 may not take this course for credit.

CHEM 346.3
Registration Info — 2003-2004 Regular Session» Theoretical Chemistry
1/2(3L)
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 243; MATH 225 and 264 or 266.

The methods of quantum mechanics are introduced and applied to basic problems in atomic and molecular structure. These include the rigid rotator, harmonic oscillator and hydrogen atom, as well as approximate treatments of many-electron atoms and molecules.

CHEM 347.3
Registration Info — 2003-2004 Regular Session» Chemical Thermodynamics
1/2(3L-3.5P)
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 115 and 242 (CHEM 242 may be taken concurrently) and MATH 116 or 124.

The presentation of the fundamental principles of thermodynamics with particular emphasis on generalized methods. Considerable time is devoted to the thermodynamics of solutions with emphasis on generalized methods for dealing with deviations from ideal behaviour. These principles are applied to the calculation of equilibrium compositions in liquid-vapour systems. The laboratory work consists of a number of experiments relating to practical studies of the above concepts.

CHEM 353.3
Registration Info — 2003-2004 Regular Session» Organic Structure Analysis
1/2(3L-4P)
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 250.

Deals with the theory and practice of techniques (primarily spectroscopic) used for the identification of organic compounds. Laboratories provide experience in the manipulation, transformation, separation and identification of organic compounds.

Note: Students with credit for CHEM 458 may not take this course for credit.

CHEM 354.3
Registration Info — 2003-2004 Regular Session» Physical Organic Chemistry
1/2(3L-4P)
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 115 and 255 (or 252).

Provides a greater understanding of the structure of organic compounds, and the underlying principles and rationale for organic reactions. The laboratory combines preparative, analytical, and computational experiments to enhance the understanding of physical and mechanistic aspects of organic chemistry.

CHEM 374.3
Registration Info — 2003-2004 Regular Session» Energy Issues and the Environment
1/2(3L-2.5P)
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 115.

Discusses facts and issues related to energy production and use in order to evaluate the technological choices that must be made to ensure a reasonable quality of life. The content of this course will be extended in problem sessions.

CHEM 375.3
Registration Info — 2003-2004 Regular Session» Pollution, Waste Disposal and the Environment
1/2(3L-3P)
Prerequisite(s): 6 credit units of Chemistry courses.

The disposal and treatment of waste materials will be discussed in terms of their effect on the gaseous and aqueous environments. A series of problems designed to illustrate the material covered in each topic will be assigned. The laboratory sessions are designed to give some understanding of how tests for environmental quality are carried out in the field and in the laboratory.
