CHM 104 INTRODUCTION TO INORGANIC CHEMISTRY (3-3-4)
PREREQUISITE: MTH 098 or higher or equivalent math placement score.
This is a survey course of general chemistry for students who do not intend to major in science or engineering and may not be substituted for CHM 111. Lecture will emphasize the facts, principles, and theories of general chemistry including math operations, matter and energy, atomic structure, symbols and formulas, nomenclature, the periodic table, bonding concepts, equations, reactions, stoichiometry, gas laws, phases of matter, solutions, pH, and equilibrium reactions. Laboratory is required. CORE

CHM 105 INTRODUCTION TO ORGANIC CHEMISTRY (3-3-4)
PREREQUISITE: CHM 104 or CHM 111.
This is a survey course of organic chemistry and biochemistry for students who do not intend to major in science or engineering. Topics will include basic nomenclature, classification of organic compounds, typical organic reactions, reactions involved in life processes, function of biomolecules, and the handling and disposal of organic compounds. Laboratory is required. CORE

CHM 111 COLLEGE CHEMISTRY I (3-3-4)
PREREQUISITE: MTH 112 or higher or equivalent math placement score.
This is the first course in a two-semester sequence designed for the science or engineering major who is expected to have a strong background in mathematics. Topics in this course include measurement, nomenclature, stoichiometry, atomic structure, equations and reactions, basic concepts of thermochemistry, chemical and physical properties, bonding, molecular structure, gas laws, kinetic-molecular theory, condensed matter, solutions, colloids, and some descriptive chemistry topics. Laboratory is required. CORE

CHM 112 COLLEGE CHEMISTRY II (3-3-4)
PREREQUISITE: CHM 111
This is the second course in a two-semester sequence designed primarily for the science and engineering student who is expected to have a strong background in mathematics. Topics in this course include chemical kinetics, chemical equilibria, acids and bases, ionic equilibria of weak electrolytes, solubility product principle, chemical thermodynamics, electrochemistry, oxidation-reduction, nuclear chemistry, an introduction to organic chemistry and biochemistry, atmospheric chemistry, and selected topics in descriptive chemistry including the metals, nonmetals, semi-metals, coordination compounds, transition compounds, and post-transition compounds. Laboratory is required. CORE

CHM 220 QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS (3-3-4)
PREREQUISITE: CHM 112
This course covers the theories, principles, and practices in standard gravimetric, volumetric, calorimetric, and electrometric analysis with special emphasis on equilibrium in acid-base and oxidation-reduction reactions and stoichiometry of chemical equations. Laboratory is required and will include classical techniques in chemical analysis, modern methods of chemical separation, and basic instrumental techniques.

CHM 221 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I (3-3-4)
PREREQUISITE: CHM 112
This is the first course in a two-semester sequence. Topics in this course include nomenclature, structure, physical and chemical pro p e rties, synthesis, and typical reactions for aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic compounds with special emphasis on reaction mechanisms, spectroscopy, and stereochemistry. Laboratory is required and will include the synthesis and confirmation of representative organic compounds with emphasis on basic techniques. CORE

CHM 222 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II (3-3-4)
PREREQUISITE: CHM 221
This is the second course in a two-semester sequence. Topics in this course include nomenclature, structure, physical and chemical pro p e rties, synthesis, and typical reactions for aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic, and biological compounds, polymers and their derivatives, with special emphasis on reaction mechanisms, spectroscopy, and stereochemistry. Laboratory is required and will include the synthesis and confirmation of representative organic compounds with emphasis on basic techniques. CORE
