Chemistry

Support for students who are concurrently enrolled in Chem 101A, the first semester of General College Chemistry. Topics include problem-solving concepts and skills necessary for success in calculations involving chemical equations, chemical formulas, stoichiometry, gas laws, kinetic molecular theory, thermochemistry, atomic structure, molecular structure, and chemical equilibrium. Concepts are taught in the context of the linked Chem 101A course.

Basic concepts of general, organic, and biological chemistry as they apply to the human body. No previous chemistry required. Satisfies the requirements of nursing and related majors that require one semester of chemistry.

Introductory chemistry. Nomenclature, stoichiometry, gases, acids/bases, solutions, chemical reactivity,
atomic/molecular structure.

In partnership with San Francisco State University, career professionals in chemistry and related fields will discuss their current research programs and provide information on career opportunities. Presentations on career opportunities for students studying chemistry.

Stoichiometry, solutions and aqueous reactions, gas behavior, thermochemistry, atomic structure and periodic properties, chemical bonding, molecular structure, condensed phases and intermolecular forces, and an introduction to equilibrium.

Chemical kinetics, applications of aqueous equilibrium, chemical thermodynamics, oxidation and reduction, electrochemistry, symmetry, crystal structures and solid state chemistry, transition metal ions, descriptive chemistry of selected elements.

Thermochemistry, atomic structure, periodic properties, bonding, solid-state structures, fundamentals of organic chemistry, solution chemistry, thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium, acids and bases, and electrochemistry. UC/CSU Designed for students majoring in all engineering programs except chemical engineering. Students who have passed CHEM 101A may not receive credit for CHEM 103A.

A presentation of chemical fundamentals related to environmental issues and society.
Intended for non-science majors.

The first semester of a one-year course in organic chemistry for students not majoring in
chemistry or biochemistry. CHEM 208A/208B is designed for students majoring in the
life sciences, including pre-medical students.

The second semester of a one-year course in organic chemistry for students not majoring in chemistry or biochemistry. CHEM 208A/208B is designed for students majoring in the life sciences, including pre-medical students.

The first semester of a one-year course in organic chemistry for students who major in
chemistry, biochemistry, and other chemistry intensive sciences. CHEM 2l2A/2l2B also
satisfies the organic chemistry requirements of medical schools.

The second semester of a one-year course in organic chemistry for students who major in chemistry, biochemistry, and other chemistry intensive sciences. A fundamental study of organic chemistry including nomenclature, physical properties, reactions, mechanisms, multi-step synthesis, theoretical aspects, and structure determination of major classes of organic compounds.
