CHEM 199	CHEM 199 Lab for CHEM 104 & 112 Course Credits: 1 This lab course will compliment either the CHEM 104 or CHEM 112 lectures. It is meant to give students an opportunity to apply the learning that is happening in class in a hands-on way. The chemical concepts learned in CHEM 104 or CHEM 112 will be explored (topics include: solubility, kinetics, chemical equilibrium, organic synthesis and extraction, buffer chemistry and electrochemistry). This lab involves a special project where students will get to explore, in depth, an area of choice and present that knowledge to the class. This chemistry lab is also meant to introduce students to lab safety, common lab practices and lab techniques that will be required for upper level science courses and beyond. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 198 NB: This lab is a co-requisite for CHEM 104 and CHEM 112
CHEM 221	CHEM 221 Organic Chemistry I Course Credits: 3 An introduction to theoretical, physical, and descriptive organic chemistry. A study of the properties of aliphatic, alicyclic, and simple aromatic compounds is examined. Introductory spectroscopy. The laboratory course illustrates the operations, representative reactions, and syntheses of organic chemistry. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 103 or 111 with CHEM 198 lab; and CHEM 104 or 112 with CHEM 199 lab NB: CHEM 221 precedes CHEM 222
CHEM 222	CHEM 222 Organic Chemistry II Course Credits: 3 An introduction to theoretical, physical, and descriptive organic chemistry. A study of the properties of aliphatic, alicyclic, and simple aromatic compounds is examined. Introductory spectroscopy. The laboratory course illustrates the operations, representative reactions, and syntheses of organic chemistry. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 221 NB: CHEM 221 precedes CHEM 222
CHEM 230	CHEM 230 Inorganic Chemistry Course Credits: 3 This foundational inorganic chemistry course explores the chemical and physical properties of the main group elements and various classes of inorganic compounds. Key topics cover atomic orbital theory and atomic term symbols; theories of bonding in molecules including Lewis structures, valence bond theory, and molecular orbital (MO) theory of chemical bonding applied to small molecules; bonding and crystal structure of ionic and metal solids; key reactivity patterns for main group elements and their important compounds; and an introduction to transition metal complexes. Prerequisite(s): One of CHEM 103 or 111 with CHEM 198 lab; and one of CHEM 104 or 112 with CHEM 199 lab Co-requisite(s): CHEM 104 or 112
CHEM 240	CHEM 240 Physical Chemistry Course Credits: 3 An introduction to thermodynamics as applied to chemical reactions. Topics include: the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, free energy and equilibria, phase equilibria, ideal and dilute solutions of non-electrolytes. Cross-listed: PHYS 240 Prerequisite(s): One of CHEM 103 or 111 with CHEM 198 lab; and one of CHEM 104 or 112 with CHEM 199 lab NB: Not offered every year See department chair.
CHEM 321	CHEM 321 Discovering Organic Structure Course Credits: 3 This is an advanced organic course which builds upon the knowledge gained from second-year organic chemistry. This course covers advanced topics in spectroscopic techniques to elucidate organic structures for research relevant applications. Topics include Fourier Transformed Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy; 1D, 2D and 3D Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy for NMR active nuclei such as 1H, 13C, 15N, 19F, and 31P; Mass Spectrometry, and Ultra Violet-Visible (UV-Vis) Spectroscopy Prerequisite(s): CHEM 221, 222 NB: Not offered every year See department chair.
CHEM 322	CHEM 322 Pharmaceutical Design & Synthesis Course Credits: 3 This is an advanced organic chemistry course. However, the course covers functional chemistry of organic substances that have relevance to medicine and pharmacy, modern synthetic techniques for functional group transformation, principles involved in the planning and execution of multi-step synthesis of organic drug molecules, and laboratory in synthetic methods and techniques. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 221, 222 NB: Not offered every year See department chair.
CHEM 341	CHEM 341 Advanced Physical Chemistry I Course Credits: 3 The fundamental concepts of matter and its structure in relation to energy. Quantum mechanics, statistical thermodynamics, spectroscopy, kinetics, and the solid state are considered. Cross-listed: PHYS 341 Prerequisite(s): PHYS 111,112, CHEM 240 Co-requisite(s): MATH 223 NB: Not offered every year. See department chair.
CHEM 342	CHEM 342 Advanced Physical Chemistry II Course Credits: 3 The fundamental concepts of matter in relation to: Kinetic Molecular Theory, Transport Phenomena, Elementary Kinetics, Complex Reaction Mechanisms and Catalysis. Prerequisite(s): Math 123, PHYS 111, 112, CHEM 240, or instructor's consent NB: Not offered every year. See department chair.
