Emphasis on the development of problem-solving techniques. The laboratory focuses on inorganic qualitative analysis. The course is not content driven but rather focuses on the processes of science and relies upon the creative and logical skills of each student. A number of hypotheses are set forth at the beginning of the course, and students are asked to produce and analyze data which will either support or negate a hypothesis. Others by permission only.
Emphasis is placed on the development of problem-solving techniques.
To provide instruction in fundamental laboratory techniques. The content of the two courses, Chemistry 113 and 114, is concentrated into this one course. Permission necessary for enrollment. To develop a broad understanding of the theoretical concepts of organic chemistry. Molecular orbital theory and valence bond resonance theory are invoked to describe and explain the ramifications of covalent bonding in organic molecules.
