A one-semester introduction to the field of chemistry. Topics covered include chemical reactions and stoichiometry, atomic and molecular structure, thermodynamics, kinetics, and acid-base chemistry. The structures of organic and biological molecules also are discussed. Lecture, three periods; laboratory, three periods. (Students cannot fulfill the natural science distribution requirement by taking both CHEM 100 and CHEM 101.)

The basic principles and concepts of chemistry, including atomic structure, formulas and equations, gas laws, and periodic classification of the elements. Lecture, three periods; laboratory, three periods.

A study of chemical and ionic equilibria, kinetics, electrochemistry, complex ions, and the descriptive properties and uses of the more important elements. Lecture: three periods; laboratory: three periods.

A study of the compounds of carbon, stressing syntheses, reaction mechanisms, and the intimate connections between molecular structure and reactivity. Lecture, three periods; laboratory, three periods.

A continuation of Chemistry 207, involving increasingly complex molecules, including biochemicals. Lecture, three periods; laboratory, three periods.

A study of the principles of molecular orbital theory, coordination chemistry of transition metals and its relationship to magnetic and spectroscopic properties, bioinorganic chemistry and solid-state chemistry. Lecture and laboratory, 5 periods.

A course of variable content for lower-level students. Topics will not duplicate material covered in other courses.

A study of the states of matter, equilibrium thermodynamics, the properties of solutions and the rates of chemical and physical processes. Lecture, three periods; laboratory, three periods.

A continuation of Chemistry 313. A study of quantum theory, the electronic structure of atoms and molecules, group theory, and vibrational, electronic, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Lecture, three periods; laboratory, three periods.

A study of the principles, methods, and calculations of volumetric, gravimetric, and potentiometric methods of quantitative analysis. Lecture, two periods; laboratory, six periods.

Reports and discussion of current chemical literature. Seminar is required of all senior chemistry majors.

An advanced survey of modern organic chemistry, linking structural aspects to reaction behavior. Concepts, including stereochemistry, kinetics, thermodynamics, and orbital symmetry, are applied rigorously to selected reactions. Lecture, three periods; laboratory, three periods.

A focus on the chemistry of the transition metals and main group elements. Advanced treatments of chemical-bonding theories and the chemistry of organometallic compounds. Lecture, three periods; laboratory, consisting of selected inorganic preparations, three periods.

Work on a research topic under the direction of staff members. Students may enroll for credit more than once. Can substitute for Honors 450: Independent Study.
