The synthesis of organic compounds and an introduction to the organic methods of separation, purification and identification. This course is coordinated with CHM 251 and is designed for biology and medical laboratory science majors.

Continuation of CHM 265. The synthesis of organic compounds and an introduction to the organic methods of separation, purification and identification. This course is coordinated with CHM 251 and is designed for chemistry and textile chemistry majors.

Lectures on current topics in chemistry from guest lecturers and students. Majors must enroll for two semesters out of four in the junior and senior years.

Continuation of CHM 401. Lectures on current topics in chemistry from guest lecturers and students. Majors must enroll for two semesters out of four in the junior and senior years.

The first part of the course provides a background in the various areas of physical organic chemistry such as thermodynamics, kinetics, acid-base theory, structure-reactivity relationships and dipole moments. This is followed by a systematic study of reaction mechanisms.

Chemistry majors who are doing well in formal course work and who have indicated research potential are encouraged to undertake an original investigation under the direction of a member of the chemistry faculty.

Students will integrate knowledge that they have gained throughout the major and the University Studies curriculum to perform a capstone research project. This will include a lecture component on presenting data in addition to the major laboratory research focus.

A study of mechanisms and stereo-chemical aspects of chemical reactions including considerations of chemical kinetics and reactivity in terms of modern bonding theory and structural concepts.
