Chemistry

Introduction to chemistry covering selected principles and their effect on ourselves and our environment. Intended for non-science majors wishing to improve their science literacy and develop a long-term interest in science. Includes online lab. (NS)

For individuals with little or no chemistry background. Atomic nature of matter, chemical bonding, periodic table, chemical reactions, phases of matter, solutions, equilibrium, reaction rates, and nuclear reactions. Includes laboratory. (NS)

Presents organic chemistry and biochemistry, with emphasis on functional groups, synthesis, and biochemical applications. (NS)

For science and engineering majors. Atomic nature of matter, stoichiometry, chemical reactions, periodic table, gas laws, thermo chemistry, and quantum concepts. Three hours of lecture and four hours laboratory. (NS)

Chemical periodicity, chemical bonding and structure, elementary organic chemistry, intermolecular forces, properties of mixtures, and kinetics. Three hours of lecture and four hours laboratory. (E)

Introduction to equilibrium, acid-base equilibria, ionic equilibria, chemical thermodynamics (first and second laws), electrochemistry, and nuclear reactions. Three hours of lecture and four hours laboratory. (E)

First course for students planning to take three quarters of organic chemistry. Structure, nomenclature, reactions, and synthesis of the main types of organic compounds. No organic laboratory accompanies this course. (E)

Second course for individuals planning to take three quarters of organic chemistry. Further discussion of physical properties and transformations of organic molecules, especially aromatic and carbonyl compounds. (E)

Third course for individuals planning to take three quarters of organic chemistry. Polyfunctional compounds, lipids, carbohydrates, amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids. (E)

Introduction to organic laboratory techniques and preparation of representative organic compounds. (E)

Preparation of representative organic compounds and qualitative organic analysis. (E)

This course fulfills the missing credit from transferring semester credits to quarter credits for prerequisite coursework for the Nursing DTA only.
