general classes of synthetic high polymers, including synthesis and mechanism
of formation. Prerequisite: Chemistry 224, senior standing, or consent
of instructor. CREDIT 3 S.H.
593. Introduction to Spectroscopy (3-0)
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,
moledular symmetry, chemical bonding and moledular structure. Prerequisite:
Chemistry 334 or consent of instructor. CREDIT 3 S.H.
597. Introduction to Theoretical Chemistry (3-0)
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. CREDIT 3 S.H.Courses for Fulfilling the Science Requirement of BS
and BA Degrees
101. Consumer Chemistry (3-0)
Describes some of the ways that chemistry and chemical technology
contribute to the manner in which we live and work and influence the
nation's economy. Topics related directly to the interest of students majoring
in art, general business, marketing, economics, industrial education, and
general education. No prerequisite. CREDIT 3 S.H.
102. Environmental Chemistry and Health (3-0)
Introduces some chemical principles, radioactivity, biological effects of
radiation, fossil fuels, air pollution, water and water pollution, noise pollution,
substances of life, food and nutrition, biological effects of pesticides and
food additives, inherited diseases, use and abuse of drugs, chemical
contraceptives, carcinogens, mutagens, and poisons. Topics are especially
suited for students majoring in physical education, community health,
recreation, psychology, communication disorders, sociology, social work,
general education, and agricultural business. No. prerequisite. CREDIT 3
S.H.
103. Chemistry: Then and Now (3-0)
Covers many of the important and interesting aspects of chemistry in both
ancient and modern times. Certain substances and chemical processes
that are found in the Bible and in the arts of ancient civilizations are
described in light of modern chemical knowledge. This course is intended
to benefit students majoring in Bible, English, communication, foreign
languages, history, political science, music, and general education. No
prerequisite. CREDIT 3 S.H.
105. Chemistry and Contemporary Social Problems (3-0)
Topics relate to the interest of students majoring in art, general business,
marketing, accounting, finance, management, industrial education, and
general education. Timely subjects are chosen each semester from the
following to describe the factual bases of the impact of each upon individuals
and society: (1) drugs and pharmaceuticals, (b) air and water pollution,
(c) energy sources and natural resource depletion, (d) food and body
chemistry, and (e) pesticides and chemical toxicology. No. prerequisite.

balance, burettes, pipettes, volumetric flasks, and pH meter. Prerequisite:
credit for or registration in accompanying lecture. CREDIT 1 S.H.
112. Introductory Chemistry Laboratory (1-2)
Continues to develop the idea that "chemistry is an experimental science."
Topics include: use of chemical literature, 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 foodscarbohydrates,
fats, and proteins. CREDIT 1 S.H.
113. Introductory Chemistry Lecture (3-0)
Describes fundamental concepts of chemistry and applies these concepts
to an understanding of chemical processes i 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 lab. No prerequisite. CREDIT 3 S.H.
114. Introductory Chemistry Lecture (3-0)
Continues the development of concepts of chemistry as related to organic
compounds. Includes hydrocarbons and their functional groups, polymers,
