I is the first semester of a two semester course intended for science majors and minors. Students are introduced to spreadsheet and graphical analysis of laboratory data, molecular modeling and perform a variety of computer-interfaced experiments. CHEM 111 is a continuation of CHEM 110. The laboratory program extends the use of spreadsheet, graphical analysis and computer interfaced experimentation in acid-base titrations, electrochemistry, volumetric analysis and nuclear chemistry. A brief qualitative analysis scheme is also carried out in the laboratory program.
Emphasis is placed on comparisons of structure and function in major groups.
Introduction to biology of vertebrates. Approximately equal time will be spent on plant and animal studies. I 4 hours CHEM 221-222 are the required courses for Biology and Chemistry majors. In this course, students learn the basic organic functional groups, systems to represent organic molecules, systematic nomenclature, common nomenclature, sterochemistry, basic reactions and one-step syntheses. CHEM 222 is the continuation of CHEM 221.
