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.

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.

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 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.
