Chemistry I is an introduction to the fundamental facts and principles of chemistry. Topics considered will include: chemical stoichiometry, atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical bonding, thermochemistry, and physical states of matter.

Laboratory experiences will include experiments that illustrate concepts presented in lecture, as well as introduce the students to experimental design, computer/instrument interfacing, and the statistical treatment of data.

This course is a continuation of CHE 120. Topics considered will include: solutions, reaction rates, chemical equilibrium, precipitation reactions, acids and bases, reaction spontaneity, redox reactions, and electrochemistry.

Laboratory experiences include experiments that illustrate concepts presented in lecture, as well as introduce the student to experimental design, computer/instrument interfacing, and the statistical treatment of data.

This course is an introduction to the fundamental principles of organic chemistry. Topics covered will include stereochemistry, reaction mechanisms, basic nomenclature, and the recognition of basic functional groups.

Laboratory exercises will focus on basic techniques of organic synthesis and isolation of organic compounds. Laboratory skills and safety procedures will be stressed.

This course is a continuation of CHE 220. Topics covered will include an examination of the higher structural classes and functional groups. Organic synthesis and spectroscopic methodologies will be explored.

This is a continuation of CHE 220L. Laboratory exercises will focus on the characterization of organic compounds by spectroscopic and chemical techniques.

This course will cover the theory and practice of quantitative analytical chemistry as well as the interpretation of chemical data. Practical inorganic and organic applications will be examined as well as the use of chemical instrumentation.

Laboratory topics include selected instrumental methodologies for interpreting chemical data. Topics will include acid-base, complexometric, and redox methods as well as titrimetric, electrochemical, and separation methods and spectroscopic techniques.

This course is an exploration of the fundamental physical laws governing the behavior of all chemical systems. Among the topics examined are ideal and real gases, the laws of thermodynamics and their applications to pure substances, mixtures, and chemical reactions.
