CHM 104 - Introduction to Inorganic Chemistry
4 Hours
Prerequisite: A letter grade of B or higher in MTH 092 or equivalent mathematics placement score, RDG 085 , and ENG 092 or higher placement
This is a survey course of general chemistry for students who do not intend to major in science or engineering and may not be substituted for CHM 111 . Lectures will emphasize the facts, principles, and theories of general chemistry including math operations, matter and energy, atomic structure, symbols and formulas, nomenclature, the periodic table, bonding concepts, equations, reactions, stoichiometry, gas laws, phases of matter, solutions, pH, and equilibrium reactions. Laboratory is required.

CHM 105 - Introduction to Organic Chemistry
4 Hours
Prerequisite: A letter grade of C or higher in CHM 104 or CHM 111
This is a survey course of organic chemistry and biochemistry for students who do not intend to major in science or engineering. Topics will include basic nomenclature, classification of organic compounds, typical organic reactions, reactions involved in life processes, function of biomolecules, and the handling and disposal of organic compounds. Laboratory is required.

CHM 111 - College Chemistry I
4 Hours
Prerequisite: A letter grade of C or higher in MTH 112 or equivalent math placement score, RDG 085 , and ENG 092 or higher placement
This is the first course in a two-semester sequence designed for the science or engineering major expected to have a strong background in mathematics. Topics in this course include measurement, nomenclature, stoichiometry, atomic structure, equations and reactions, basic concepts of thermo-chemistry, chemical and physical properties, bonding, molecular structure, gas laws, kinetic-molecular theory, condensed matter, solutions, colloids, and some descriptive chemistry topics. Laboratory is required.

CHM 112 - College Chemistry II
4 Hours
Prerequisite: A letter grade of C or higher in CHM 111
This is the second course in a two-semester sequence designed primarily for the science and engineering student expected to have a strong background in mathematics. Topics in this course include chemical kinetics, chemical equilibria, acids and bases, ionic equilibria of weak electrolytes, solubility product principle, chemical thermodynamics, electrochemistry, oxidation-reduction, nuclear chemistry, an introduction to organic chemistry and biochemistry, atmospheric chemistry, and selected topics in descriptive chemistry including the metals, non-metals, semi-metals, coordination compounds, transition compounds, and post-transition compounds. Laboratory is required.

CHM 221 - Organic Chemistry I
4 Hours
Prerequisite: A letter grade of C or higher in CHM 112
This is the first course in a two-semester sequence. Topics in this course include nomenclature, structure, physical and chemical properties, synthesis, and typical reactions for aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic compounds with special emphasis on reaction mechanisms, spectroscopy, and stereochemistry. Laboratory is required and includes the synthesis and confirmation of representative organic compounds with emphasis on basic techniques.

CHM 222 - Organic Chemistry II
4 Hours
Prerequisite: A letter grade of C or higher in CHM 221
This is the second course in a two-semester sequence. Topics in this course include nomenclature, structure, physical and chemical properties, synthesis, and typical reactions for aliphatic, alicyclic, aromatic, and biological compounds, polymers and their derivatives, with special emphasis on reaction mechanisms, spectroscopy, and stereochemistry. Laboratory is required and includes the synthesis and confirmation of representative organic compounds with emphasis on basic techniques.
