The use of microscale techniques for the preparation, purification and identification of organic compounds. Includes spectroscopic techniques. Intended for majors and interested students. Two laboratories per week. The first quarter emphasizes quantum theory with applications to atomic structure, molecular structure, and spectroscopy.
Second quarter includes thermodynamics applied to phase and chemical equilibria.
Third quarter deals with kinetics, transport properties, and molecular dynamics. 3 Methods, materials, and techniques of teaching chemistry on the secondary-school level. Requires observation, demonstration, and class presentations. Will not apply toward a major or minor. Offered on request of the Education Department.
