Registration Info — 2004-2005 Regular Session» Inorganic Chemistry I
1/2(3L-3P-1T)
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 115.

Discussion of atomic and molecular properties in terms of modern theories of structure and bonding. The laboratory provides experience in the preparation and investigation of the properties of typical inorganic compounds.

CHEM 242.3
Registration Info — 2004-2005 Regular Session» Physical Chemistry I
1/2(3L-3P-1T)
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 115 and MATH 110 or 123.

The study of the structure of matter and the changes it undergoes. Topics include properties of materials, thermodynamics, chemical equilibria and chemical kinetics. The laboratory provides experience with the use of physical-chemical equipment and problem solving skills.

CHEM 243.3
Registration Info — 2004-2005 Regular Session» Physical Chemistry II
1/2(3L-2T)
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 242; MATH 112 or 116 (116 preferred) or 124; PHYS 111 or 121 (121 preferred).

An introduction to quantum chemistry and statistics of chemical systems as a foundation for courses concerned with the theory and spectroscopy of atomic and molecular systems.

CHEM 250.3
Registration Info — 2004-2005 Regular Session» Introduction to Organic Chemistry
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.

CHEM 255.3
Registration Info — 2004-2005 Regular Session» Bio-Organic Chemistry
1/2(3L-3P-1T)
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 250; CHEM 115 and BIOCH 200 recommended.

Intended to give insight into the specific and fundamental role of organic reactions occurring in nature, to students of all scientific disciplines who have been introduced to organic chemistry and to the life sciences. The emphasis will be on the patterns of reactivity among natural products, rather than on the biochemical roles that these molecules play. The laboratory will introduce students to experimental approaches to biomimetic, biological and pharmaceutical chemistry.

CHEM 302.3
Registration Info — 2004-2005 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.
