Spring odd years. Spectrophotometry, electrochemistry, and separation techniques are discussed. Specific topics include ultraviolet and visible absorption, atomic absorption, flame emission, infrared absorption, nuclear magnetic resonance, polarography, potentiometry, gas chromatography and liquid chromatography. Instruments for these techniques are used in the laboratory work. The periodic system, properties of atoms and ions, bonding theory and structures in inorganic compounds, synthesis and reactions of inorganic compounds, nonaqueous solvents, and coordination chemistry are studied.
Emphasis is on the underlying theoretical concepts involved.
Spring even years. Electrochemistry, colloids, kinetic theory, reaction kinetics, and statistical mechanics are studied. Laboratory emphasis is on electrical measurements and kinetic studies. Formerly CHM 442. Spring odd years.
