CHEM 1001 Special Topics in Chemistry 1-4 Credits
Topic offered will provide students opportunities for undergraduate research
as well as extended coursework in areas of faculty and student interest and student
need. Prerequisite(s): MATH 1030; other prerequisites are topic dependent:
In most cases, no prerequisite; occasionally, consent of instructor
Atomic structure, periodic law, bonding, gas laws, liquid and solid states,
solutions, acids and bases, oxidation and reduction reactions and equilibrium.
Course includes three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory applications
each week. Prerequisite(s): Two years of high school algebra and completion of
learning support math requirements and MATH 1030
Organic chemistry: alkanes and unsaturated and aromatic hydrocarbons,
with emphasis on structure, nomenclature, and functional groups. Biochemistry:
amino acids and proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids. Course includes
three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory applications each week.
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 1010
