A one-semester introduction to chemistry intended for students who have had no secondary school chemistry and who wish to proceed to more advanced chemistry courses. Open only to students who have completed secondary school or equivalent or have been admitted under dean's admission.

This course emphasizes the practical applications of chemistry in nature, living systems, and society. The role of science in shaping our view of ourselves and our surroundings will also be examined. An opportunity to do science will be provided by means of participatory lecture demonstrations...

A continuation of the CHEM 1114 course with an increased emphasis on laboratory work. CHEM 1118 topics include solutions, descriptive kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acid-base chemistry, buffers, and electrochemistry.Prerequisite(s): One of the following: a minimum "C+" grade in CHEM 1114 or...

Students will learn modern theories of molecular properties, while also examining chemical technology's impact on society. Topics include atomic spectroscopy, orbitals and periodicity, chemical bonding, molecular geometry, molecular orbital theory, intermolecular forces, and macromolecules...

This course constitutes a first year course in general college chemistry. Topics include: quantum chemistry, bonding, absorption of energy by molecules, applications of structure, and chemistry in society. Students may obtain credit for only one of: CHEM 1120 or 1121. These courses have the same...

A survey of first-year chemistry, including quantum mechanics with application to electronic structure, thermodynamics with application to electrochemistry and phase equilibria, and also topics in intermolecular forces, gas law, crystal structure, and aqueous equilibria.Priority registration in this...

This is a chemistry course for arts majors that focuses on biological and organic chemistry with an emphasis on environmental issues. Topics covered include toxicology, drug chemistry, food chemistry, hydrocarbons, and plastics. This course meets the laboratory science requirement for the Associate...

Students explore the fundamentals of physical chemistry and organic chemistry, learning to predict and control chemical reactions important for biological and industrial processes. Topics include chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, equilibrium calculations, organic structure, and organic reactivity...

This course constitutes the second half of a first year course in general college chemistry. Topics include: solutions, energetics, thermo-dynamics, chemical kinetics, structure, and reactivity. Students may obtain credit for only one of CHEM 1220 or 1221. These courses have the same learning...

This course is intended for students who want an applied experiential learning opportunity which will build practical skills valued by employers, and be of use to subsequent academic studies. Each student is assigned a unique science project, typically based on an industry or non-profit identified...
