CHEM 1000 - Introduction to Chemistry (4)
Students will learn the principles of chemistry with some inorganic applications including atomic and molecular structures; periodic law; ionic theory; bonding; behavior of solid, liquid, and gaseous states of matter, stoichiometry, solutions, equilibrium, kinetics, and electrochemistry. Hands-on experiments to teach students some of the basic skills. Prerequisite: Placement at Math Level 3 or concurrent enrollment in MATH 0930 - Intermediate Algebra (3 hrs lec, 2 hrs lab)

-
CHEM 1002 - Integrated Sciences (4)
An introduction to the concepts and methodologies of science, which integrates basic principles from the physical, geological, and biological sciences. The idea behind each of the concepts is also treated in its historical context, with special attention to its importance in understanding of the nature of the universe. The course is intended for non-science majors and uses little mathematics. Credit cannot be earned in both BIOL 1002 and CHEM 1002. (3 hrs lec, 2 hrs lab)

-
CHEM 1020 - General Chemistry I (5)
Principles and theories of Chemistry, designed for science and related concentrations. Students acquire knowledge of atomic and molecular structures; periodic law; ionic theory; behavior and properties of gaseous, liquid, and solid states of matter; plus some study of nonmetallic elements. Prerequisite: High school chemistry preferred. Concurrent enrollment in MATH 1400 or above or equivalent math background, or completion of CHEM 1000 . (4 hrs lec, 3 hrs lab)
|

-
CHEM 1030 - General Chemistry II (4)
Continues CHEM 1020 . Students acquire knowledge of oxidation-reduction reactions, additional nonmetals, groups on the periodic chart, kinetics, equilibrium, PH, buffers, thermodynamics, solution preparation, radioactivity, nuclear chemistry, and organic chemistry. Prerequisite: Minimum grade of “C” in CHEM 1020. (3 hrs lec, 3 hrs lab)

-
CHEM 2230 - Quantitative Analysis (4)
Fundamental concepts of quantitative analysis, application, and techniques of gravimetric, volumetric, and instrumental analysis. Prerequisite: MATH 1400 or equivalent, CHEM 1000 or CHEM 1030 . (2 hrs lec, 6 hrs lab)
|
| |
-
CHEM 2300 - Intro to Organic Chemistry (4)
Students learn basic principles and methods of organic Chemistry including nomenclature, structure, reactions, reaction mechanisms, and stereo chemistry. They also acquire introductory knowledge of nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared, ultraviolet, and mass spectral analysis of organic compounds. Prerequisite: CHEM 1000 or CHEM 1020 . Not for students who have taken CHEM 2320 or CHEM 2340 . (4 hrs lec)
