This is a one-semester general chemistry course. Topics deal with basic principles of atomic and molecular structures, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, chemical change, and organic chemistry.
Emphasis is on compounds of interest in health and the environment.
This course embodies a study of elementary chemical principles, including a study of the nature, properties and uses of many inorganic elements and compounds, and the fundamental laws and theories concerning their reactions. Emphasis is placed on the practical application of elements studied. A continuation of General Chemistry I, this portion of the course covers the study of metals, nonmetals, organic chemistry, biochemistry, qualitative analysis and nuclear chemistry. The student shall choose a research topic and research director and carry out research in the field of chemistry. 2 hrs Students taking this course will prepare and deliver a seminar concerning recent innovating research in the field of chemistry.
