Chemistry - Course Descriptions
| CHEM 1411: GENERAL CHEMISTRY I |
CRT HRS:04 In this course, basic principles are introduced. Emphasis is placed on fundamental laws, atomic structure, bonding, acids and bases, selected elements and their compounds. Prerequisite: A passing score of 78+ on the Reading ACCUPLACER Exam or equivalent, or completion of READ 0090 with a grade of “C” or better; and a score of 95+ on the Elementary Algebra ACCUPLACER Exam or equivalent, or completion of MATH 0090 with a grade of “C” or better. |
| CHEM 1412: GENERAL CHEMISTRY II |
CRT HRS:04 This course is a continuation of CHEM 1411 covering ionic equilibrium, oxidation-reduction, electrochemistry, gas laws, thermodynamics, introduction to carbon compounds, nuclear and 266 Course Descriptions radiochemistry. Prerequisite: CHEM 1411 with a grade of “C” or better. |
| CHEM 2423: ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I |
CRT HRS:04 This is a study of carbon chemistry that considers covalent bonding, nomenclature, stereochemistry, structure and reactivity, reaction mechanisms, functional groups and introductory synthesis. Laboratory experiments develop organic techniques and reinforce lecture material. Prerequisite: CHEM 1412 with a grade of “C” or better. |
| CHEM 2425: ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II |
CRT HRS:04 This is a continuation of CHEM 2423 that includes methods of structural analysis, advanced synthesis and reactions, biochemistry and organometallic topics. Laboratory experiments emphasize techniques in synthesis, purification, and analyses, and reinforce lecture material. Prerequisite: CHEM 2423 with a grade of “C” or better. |
