Introduction to the theory and practice of analytical chemistry. After a review of the basic laboratory techniques used in pure and applied chemistry and in biological chemistry, the course discusses a number of instrumental techniques, particularly those based on chromatographic, electromagnetic radiation, and electrochemical theories.

The fundamental concepts of matter in relation to: Kinetic Molecular Theory, Transport Phenomena, Elementary Kinetics, Complex Reaction Mechanisms and Catalysis.

The fundamental concepts of matter and its structure in relation to energy. Quantum mechanics, statistical thermodynamics, spectroscopy, kinetics, and the solid state are considered.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
