Course Information
CHM 105 Chemistry: A Human Perspective 3 credits
Chemistry: A Human Perspective - Objectives of the course include the development of an understanding of fundamental chemical principles and an appreciation of the scientific basis of certain phenomena that dramatically impact our lives. Currently accepted theories and ideas of chemistry are presented along with the descriptions, from historical perspective, of scientists that led to our present understanding of matter.
CHM 111-112 General Chemistry 8 credits
Emphasizes physical chemical principles. Includes atomic structure and periodicity, chemical bonding, kinetics, equilibrium, electrochemistry and periodic chemical properties. Laboratory includes quantitative and qualitative analysis. Three lectures, one laboratory and one recitation per week. Prerequisite for CHM112: CHM 111 with a minimum grade of C- Fall and Spring
CHM 344 Metal Ions in Biological Systems 3 credits
An interdisciplinary course taught by a chemistry and a biology professor. Intended for science majors as an elective in either chemistry, biochemistry or biology. Chemical processes in biological systems, which include participation of metal ions, are covered. The course begins with the principles of coordination chemistry and structural biochemistry. The rest of the course is organized according to the functions performed by the metal centers: gene expression and signal transduction, digestion, bioenergetics and electron transfer, oxygen transport, liver functions and anticancer drugs. Prerequisites: BIO101 and CHM 227-228. Fall
CHM 401 Modern Synthetic Methods 3 credits
Structure-reactivity relationships in organometallic chemistry and the application of organometallic compounds in organic synthesis, including industrial catalysis. Prerequisite: CHM 228 Fall
CHM 401L Modern Synthetic Methods Laboratory 1 credit
Designed to illustrate some of the most important synthetic and physical techniques used by modern synthetic chemists. Prerequisite: CHM 401 or concurrent registration in CHM401. Fall
CHM 444 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry 3 credits
The course begins with the foundations of inorganic chemistry: bonding, structure, and symmetry, within the frame of group theory. These concepts are used to develop understanding of bonding in polyatomic molecules and solids, structures and electrical conductivity of solids, modern concepts of acids and bases, redox reactions using both thermodynamic and kinetic parameters, and chemistry as well as electronic spectroscopy of coordination compounds of transition metals.
