CHE 3101
Organic Chemistry I
The focus of CHE3101, in one word, is structure. The structures and geometries of carbon-containing molecules, including the topics of isomerism and stereochemistry, are examined in great detail using models and spectroscopic techniques. It is the structure of molecules which enables one to understand chemical reactivity. Types of reactions and mechanisms studied include simple substitution, addition and elimination. A $200 laboratory fee required.
CHE 1021
Principles of Chemistry I
Fundamentals of measurement, the scientific method and its relationship to faith and reason, nuclear and electronic structure of the atom, chemical bonding, shapes and polarities of molecules, thermochemistry, stoichiometry and types of chemical reactions.
