CHE 100Environmental Chemistry3
Principles of chemistry behind the effects of such environmental problems as acid rain, ozone layer depletion, atmospheric and aquatic pollution, global warming. Evaluation of experimental data leading scientists to current conclusions regarding these environmental issues.
Materials used in the production of art works, including their sources, properties, and applications. Topics to be covered are: metals, their use in sculpture, printmaking, and gold and silver work; paper; black and white photography; pigments and dyes; coatings (varnishes and synthetic polymers). Designed for non-science majors.
An exploration of the intersection between chemistry and medicine; covering some basic chemistry; the structure of the human body at various scales; and use of pharmaceuticals, including the chemical basis of how they interact with the body.
Selected topics courses are regularly scheduled courses that focus on a particular topic of interest. Descriptions are printed in the Schedule of Classes each semester. Selected topics courses may be used as elective credit and may be repeated for credit, provided that the topic of the course changes.

Atomic structure, periodicity, ionic and covalent bonding. Acid-base and solution chemistry. Bonding theories and structure of transition metal complexes.
A course that applies physical, chemical and equilibrium properties to the problems of isolating components in analytical processes with emphasis on chromatographic procedures. Applications from current literature.
Expands skills and techniques acquired in physical chemistry by providing applications to large systems of reaction occurring in flow systems. Introduction to the mass, momentum and energy balances and design concepts familiar to chemical engineers. Not for engineers.
Structure of biomolecules and their assemblies and the chemical reactions of metabolic processes. Molecular aspects of gene replication, transcription and translation.
Fundamental principles and their application in thermodynamics, solution and phase equilibria, the solid state, and topics such as physical chemistry of surfaces. Not open to undergraduate chemistry majors.
Understanding of the relation between the properties of materials and composition and structure. Electronic structure of the atom, and its relationship to the chemical bonding in solids. Atom packing and crystal structures. Relationship of structure, including defects, to mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of polymers in relation to structure. Composite materials. Surface defects: corrosion, friction, adhesion.
