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

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 size: 20

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

This course is an introduction to biochemistry
with an emphasis on the study of biomolecules that are central to the function of
living systems. Topics of study are protein and nucleic acid
structure/function/regulation, mechanism/kinetics of enzymes and a brief
introduction to metabolism. The study of biochemistry is at the interface of
chemistry and biology. A strong foundation in introductory biology and organic
chemistry is necessary. Prerequisites: Biology 141 and Chemistry 201-202. Class

An introduction to the design and development of
organic syntheses. The starting point is a predictable design of organic
structures based on the use of carbanions and other modern reactions. The
versatility of these methods is discussed, using novel ways to apply these
reactions to generate elusive structures. Variations in reactivity are
discussed to illustrate the differential reactivity of similar functional
groups and how these differences may be used in selectivity. Fairly
complicated syntheses are evaluated to appreciate new ideas and approaches to
synthesis. Recent papers in organic synthesis are presented by the
professor, students, and visiting speakers from industry and academia.
Prerequisite: Chemistry 202. Class size: 12
