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.

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. Students register
for lab separately (see the lab options below).

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.
