Physical and chemical principles pertaining to the structure of chemical species and the nature, extent, and rates of chemical reactions. The details of stoichiometry, energy changes associated with chemical reactions, atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonding, and the phenomenon of chemical periodicity are emphasized and discussed in light of modern scientific theories. For science and engineering majors. Honors sections are offered.

A survey of the preparations and reactions of selected representative elements and transition metals. The physical and chemical properties of each element are covered, including the occurrence of the element in nature and important compounds and their uses, including industrial processes. The course introduces transition metal complexes and includes an advanced treatment of ionic equilibria including precipitation and complex-formation reactions.

Upper-level laboratory course with prelab lecture integrating experimental methods and concepts from physical chemistry and biochemistry. Emphasizes quantitative analysis, molecular-level interpretation, and experimental design. Experiments will test established theoretical principles introduced in CHM 315, 316 and 411. Students will investigate thermodynamics, kinetics, spectroscopy, and molecular interactions using chemically and biologically relevant systems. Basic biochemical techniques include spectrophotometry, electrophoresis, chromatography, ultracentrifugation, enzyme digestion and their application to biomolecules. The course emphasizes data analysis, uncertainty propagation, scientific writing, and laboratory methods and skills. Experiments will provide the student with basic experience in obtaining precise physical measurements of chemical/biochemical interest.
