Schedule of Classes

Introduction to fundamental chemical concepts, including measurements; basic inorganic nomenclature; atomic structure; nuclear chemistry; periodic properties; molecular structure and bonding; basic thermochemistry; types of reactions; stoichiometry; properties of gases, liquids, solids, and solutions; equilibria; acids and bases. May not be counted for credit in programs offered within the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry; not open to students with credit in CHM 110.

Course designed to provide chemical concepts for students majoring in the physical or biological sciences, engineering, or related disciplines. Topics include: measurements; basic inorganic nomenclature; atomic structure; stoichiometry; types of reactions; thermochemistry; periodic properties; molecular structure and bonding; properties of gases, liquids, solids, and solutions; acids and bases.

Continuation of CHM 110. For students majoring in the physical or biological sciences and related disciplines. Topics include: acid-base equilibria; thermodynamics; electrochemistry; descriptive chemistry of metals and nonmetals; kinetics; nuclear chemistry; environmental chemistry.

All MS students must write a thesis based upon independent research, the final version of which must conform to the requirements outlined on the departmental and Graduate School Web pages. Typically, students enroll in the course in the semester they intend to submit their thesis. Zero credit course graded Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory.
