organic molecules. Prerequisites: CHEM 324 and Junior standing or
consent of instructor.
CHEM 573 Structure and Mechanism in Organic Chemistry (343), on
demand. An advanced study of the relationship of properties of organic
compounds to their structures, and the mechanisms of organic reactions.
Covers the various theories of organic reactions and prediction of their
course, using examples from the current literature. Prerequisites: CHEM
324 and Senior standing or consent of instructor.
CHEM 583 Polymer Chemistry (3-3), on demand. Presents fundamental
chemical study of the structure and properties of the general classes of
high polymers, including synthesis and mechanism of formation. Prerequisites:
CHEM 324 and Senior standing or consent of instructor.
CHEM 593 Introduction to Spectroscopy (3-0-3), on demand. Considers
the application and theoretical basis for modern spectroscopy. Covers
ultra-violet and visible, infrared, Raman, and microwave spectroscopy;
and nuclear magnetic and electron spin resonance. Presents application
of introductory quantum theory to spectroscopy, fundamental group
theory, molecular symmetry, chemical bonding, and molecular structure.
Prerequisite: CHEM 334 or consent of instructor.
CHEM 597 Introduction to Theoretical Chemistry (3-3), on demand. Sets
forth the theoretical principles of quantum and statistical mechanics,
and their application for calculating and interpreting the structural,
spectral, and thermodynamic properties of molecules. Discusses crystal
structure and other structural methods. Prerequisite: CHEM 334 or
consent of instructor.Courses Not Credited Toward a Chemistry Degree
CHEM 111 Introductory Chemistry Laboratory (1-2-1), fall. Introduces the
student to laboratory measurement and observation. Topics are chosen
to coordinate with the sequence of topics discussed in accompanying
lecture. Emphasis is given to quantitative measurements using the
balance, burettes, pipettes, volumetric flasks, and pH meter. Prerequisite:
CHEM 113 or concurrent enrollment.
CHEM 112 Introductory Chemistry Laboratory (1-2-1), spring. Continues to
develop the idea that chemistry is an experimental science. Topics
include the use of chemical literature, the use of spectroscopy in
qualitative and quantitative analysis, synthetic preparation and chemistry
of aspirin, analysis of vitamin C in foods, chemistry of major classes of
foods: carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Prerequisites: CHEM 111 and
114 or concurrent enrollment.
CHEM 113 Introductory Chemistry Lecture (303), fall. Describes fundamental
concepts of chemistry and applies these concepts to an understanding
of chemical processes in those areas of interest to students of
agriculture, home economics, and nursing. Emphasis is given to inorganic
chemistry, including the topics of atomic structure, periodicity, chemical
bonds, chemical reactions, gas laws, solutions, acids and bases, and electrolytes.
Credited without CHEM 111. No prerequisite.
