Total Units: 56 - 61
Term 1
16.00 - 17.00 Units. Specified core courses are signified by icon.| Course Name | Units | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CHEM 1: General Chemistry I | 5.00 | ||
|
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 110 or CHEM 11 or one year of high school chemistry; and MATH 124 or Equivalent This course introduces students to the basic principles of chemistry with a quantitative emphasis. Topics include atomic theory, chemical bonding, molecular geometry, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, gases, thermochemistry, intermolecular forces and solutions. This is the first semester of a one-year course in chemistry intended for majors in the natural sciences (chemistry, biochemistry, biology, physics, pre-medicine), mathematics, and engineering. The two-semester sequence of CHEM 1 and CHEM 2 provides the basic chemical background needed for further investigations into our physical environment. (C-ID CHEM 110/120S). |

Prerequisite(s): CHEM 2 This is the first course in a year-long study of organic chemistry designed for students majoring in chemistry and related science disciplines. It covers fundamental principles of organic chemistry including structure, nomenclature, conformational analysis and stereochemistry. The physical properties, reactions and reaction mechanisms of alkanes, alkyl halides, alcohols, ethers, alkenes, alkynes, and allylic systems are studied. Infrared spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy are discussed in detail. (C-ID CHEM 150 & 160S). |
