COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
CHM101INTRO TO CHEMISTRY4 Credit HoursA problem-solving course to familiarize the student who has limited previous chemistry background with basic chemistry and mathematical skills. Course covers basic algebra skills, powers of ten (exponents), dimensional analysis, metric measurements and conversions, atomic theory, molecular structure, the periodic table and its uses, inorganic nomenclature, the mole concept, the gas laws and different types of solutions. The recitation portion of this class will involve pertinent problem-solving.Prerequisites: or MTH101, MTH121, MTH123, MTH103
CHM121GEN ORG AND BIOL CHEMISTRY I4 Credit HoursPrinciples of general and inorganic chemistry are presented in lecture. Topics include atomic structure, chemical bonding and compounds, energy changes, gas laws, solutions, and acids and bases. The laboratory experiences include basic scientific measurements, physical property measurements, inorganic physical and chemical change observations and laboratory reporting.Prerequisites: CHM101
CHM122GEN, ORG & BIOL CHEMSITRY II4 Credit HoursThe course examines the structures, names, reactions and physical properties of the major groups of organic and biological compounds including alkenes, alkynes, aromatics, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and esters and biological compounds including carbohydrate lipids, proteins and nucleic acid molecules. Basic metabolic reactions, including dehydration synthesis, hydrolytic digestion and biooxidations are described. Laboratory exercises demonstrate the properties and reactions of the compounds studied in lecture.Prerequisites: CHM121
CHM141GENERAL CHEMISTRY I5 Credit HoursA broad overview of chemical principles and reactivity. Topics include atomic structure, chemical bonding and molecular structure, inorganic compounds, organic compounds, chemical periodicity, stoichiometry and nuclear chemistry.Prerequisites: CHM101
CHM142GENERAL CHEMISTRY II5 Credit HoursA broad overview of chemical principles and reactivity. Topics include biochemistry, thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium, acid- based theories, solubility, electrochemistry, and chemical and biochemical kinetics.Prerequisites: CHM141
