No specific course sequences are suggested for students wishing to include chemistry minors or areas of special interest in their programs. Atomic structure, periodicity, stoichiometry, molecular structure, bonding, nomenclature. Experiments emphasizing quantitative chemical analysis.
Laboratory exercises including synthesis, product purification and characterization.
These principles are applied to facilitating the understanding and prediction of physical interactions and chemical transformations in these media. The chemistry of the elements and periodic trends in reactivity discussed in relation to the preparation and use of inorganic chemicals in industry and the environment. A study of chemical systems from a molecular physical chemistry perspective. Includes an introduction to quantum mechanics, atoms and molecules, spectroscopy, bonding and symmetry, and an introduction to modern computational chemistry. A continuation of CHGN 351.
