An introduction to the composition, structure, and
properties of matter. The first semester covers stoichiometry,
atomic structure,
periodic trends, bonding and molecular geometry, and the behavior of gases, liquids, and
solids. The laboratory stresses basic techniques and quantitative applications.
Basic algebra skills are required. Concurrent enrollment in calculus is
recommended for students who intend to go on in chemistry. This course has lab
options, see below. Students register
for lab separately. Class size: 28

Students
study the structure and reactions of specific types of organic compounds and
develop interrelationships that provide an integrated understanding of organic
chemistry. The course emphasizes general principles and reaction mechanisms,
but students are also expected to accumulate and utilize factual material. The
laboratory is coordinated with classroom topics and should provide direct
experience with many reactions and concepts. The laboratory is also intended to
develop familiarity with experiment design, experimental techniques, and
instrumental methods such as chromatography and spectroscopy. Class

Quantum
chemistry, spectroscopy, and thermodynamics are studied in detail. Topics
covered include the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, the hydrogen
atom, computational chemistry, atomic and molecular spectroscopy, the standard
functions (enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs, etc), and the microscopic point of view of
entropy among others. Pre-requisites: Chemistry 141-142 (or equivalent),
Physics 141-142 and Mathematics 141-142, or by permission of instructor. Class size: 12

Advanced
lab concepts and techniques will be introduced and studied. Multi-step
organic and organometallic synthesis will cover a
solid portion of the course. Air and moisture sensitive techniques will be
explored. We will also cover many analytical, physical, inorganic, and
organic chemistry techniques and applications, as necessary. Weekly
assignments, tests, presentations, and lab reports will be the basis for
evaluation for the course. Class size:

2 credits A central goal of nanoscience and technology
is to make useful materials and devices through the synthesis and patterning of
nanoscale building blocks. In this course we
will study the synthetic methods used to make metallic and semiconducting nanocrystals, as well as polymeric and bio-inspired nanomaterials. We will also explore techniques that
have been developed to organize and integrate these building blocks into
functional architectures via self-assembly, templating,
and lithography. This seminar style course will draw extensively on
recent literature in chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering journals. Class size: 10
