CHEM
1406 Introductory Chemistry I
This course is a survey of the fundamentals of general chemistry
with applications from medicine, modern living, agriculture, and
the environment. This course is designed for non-science majors
who need a lab science credit, for nursing students seeking a B.S.
degree or background for physiology, and also for students who have
very little or no chemical background.
Prerequisite:
minimum math THEA score of 230 or completion of DSMA 0301, Developmental
Mathematics II.
Co-requisite:
CHEX 1406.
CHEM
1407 Introductory Chemistry II
A survey of the fundamentals of organic and biochemistry for nursing
students interested in the processes of life. Basic principles,
nomenclature, principle reactions and methods of synthesis, and
the major classes of physiologically important compounds are studied.
Prerequisite:
CHEM 1406, or CHEM 1411.
Co-requisite:
CHEX 1407.
CHEM
1411 General Chemistry I
The first of two courses for science-related majors, this course
is a study of the fundamental theories and laws of chemistry, chemical
nomenclature, metals and non-metals and their compounds, states
of matter, solutions, and the quantum theory of structure. Emphasis
is placed on problem solving.
Prerequisite:
MATH 1414 or consent of the Department Chair.
Co-requisite:
CHEX 1411.
CHEM
1412 General Chemistry II
The second of two courses for science-related majors, this course
covers kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acid-base concepts, electrochemistry,
elementary thermodynamics, and an introduction to nuclear chemistry.
Prerequisite:
CHEM 1411.
Co-requisite:
CHEX 1412.
CHEM
2423 Organic Chemistry I
The first of two courses designed to provide a foundation in organic
chemistry, a study of the chemistry of carbon and its compounds.
The course is a study of structural theory, functional groups, nomenclature,
stereochemistry, reaction mechanisms, synthesis, and properties
of organic compounds. This course is designed for both science majors
and minors. Prerequisites: CHEM 1411
and CHEM 1412.
Co-requisite:
CHEX 2423.
CHEM
2425 Organic Chemistry II
As a continuation of CHEM 2423 this course involves a more in-depth
study of the topics covered in CHEM 2423 in addition to the study
of aliphatic and aromatic compounds and spectroscopic analysis concepts.
Designed for both science majors and minors.
Prerequisite:
CHEM 2423.
Co-requisite:
CHEX 2425.
