and the interpretive application of principles. Prerequisites: high school
chemistry and three years of high school mathematics or with permission
of instructor. Chem 107 is a prerequisite for Chem 108. (LAB)
109 Accelerated General Chemistry (4 credits) (3 two-hour
integrated lab-lectures weekly) This course is designed for students who
have a strong high school chemistry background, and will consolidate the
more challenging aspects of Chem 107 and 108. It therefore satisfies the
107-108 prerequisite for enrollment in upper level science courses, and is
not open to students who already have completed 107-108. Topics include
atomic and molecular structure, stoichiometry, thermodynamics,
equilibrium and kinetics. Prerequisites: high school chemistry, three years
of high school mathematics and permission of the Department of
Chemistry. (LAB)
150 Topics in Chemistry Special topics of interest are presented
through lecture/discussion for non-majors. These topics may vary from
semester to semester. If the course has a laboratory included, it will fulfill
the general College laboratory requirement.
201, 202 Organic Chemistry (5 credits) (3 one-hour lectures and 1
four-hour laboratory weekly) A study of the preparation and properties of
the compounds of carbon. Modern theories are used to interpret
structures and reactions. Required of all chemistry and all biology majors.
Prerequisites: Chem 107 and 108, or 109; 201 is prerequisite for 202.
(LAB)
203 Analytical Chemistry (5 credits) (3 one-hour lectures and 1 fourhour
laboratory weekly) Analytical Chemistry is a study of the art and
science of determining the presence and concentration of chemical
compounds in diverse samples. This course covers the modern practice of
analytical chemistry. Prerequisite: Chem 108 or Chem 109. (LAB)
210 Inorganic Chemistry I (5 credits) (3 one-hour lectures, 1 fourhour
laboratory weekly) This course focuses on the chemistry of the
elements, including electronic structure, bonding and molecular
structure, ionic solids, coordination compounds, the origins of the
elements, and the descriptive chemistry of the elements. Topics also
include inorganic synthesis, materials science, industrial chemistry, and
an introduction to bioinorganic chemistry. Prerequisite: Chem 108 or
Chem 109. (LAB)
292 Sophomore Year Research (2 credits) Each student shall work
the equivalent of one afternoon per week during the two regular terms on
a laboratory research project associated with a member of the chemistry
faculty. Prerequisite: Permission of the Department of Chemistry.
301 Advanced Laboratory Methods (5 seven-hour labs and lecture
weekly, January Term) A study of laboratory methods used in modern
research situations. Equipment and methods such as catalytic
hydrogenation, vacuum-line techniques, electrochemical and
photochemical synthesis which are inappropriate for large general courses
will be studied. Offered on petition of at least four students. Prerequisites:
Chem 201, 202, 203. (LAB)
303, 304 Physical Chemistry (5 credits) (3 one-hour lectures, 1 fourhour
laboratory weekly) Advanced theories, laws and principles of
chemistry. The course will include thermodynamics, electrochemistry,
molecular structure, kinetics and spectroscopy. Prerequisites: Chem 108
