Geneva College 20
Topics include a scientific description of the materials and methods used in making works of art; light and the chemistry of color; pigments and dyes; restoration and conservation; scientific examination of artworks; the identification of fakes; and scientific probes of influence and style. Not applicable toward a major or minor in chemistry. Three hours lecture per week. Fall semesters, odd years. Core, Cosmos option.
The course, which includes a lab component, focuses on cultivating an understanding and awareness of complex issues related to water issues in Southwestern Pennsylvania, the United States and the global environment. It concludes with a travel component to southern Florida. This class satisfies the core requirement for a laboratory course in the natural sciences. Offered periodically. Core, Cosmos option.
A study of carbon compounds that includes topics in structure, properties, and reactivity. All functional groups will be surveyed with alkanes, alkenes, halogens, and alcohols covered in detail. Attention will be given to basic mechanisms of organic reactions and introductory spectroscopy. Includes applications with fuels and polymers. The laboratory will introduce basic techniques in studying organic molecules. Three hours lecture and 3.3 hours laboratory per week. Spring semester.
A continuation of study of the structure and chemistry of organic molecules, including radical reactions and the functional group chemistry of aromatics, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, and amines. Introduction to biochemical molecules. Use and interpretation of major 2026-2027 99
Classical methods of analysis of chemical substances with an introduction to instrumental methods. Includes thorough understanding of the processes of ionic equilibria. Three hours lecture and 3.3 hours laboratory per week. Spring semester.
Chemical properties of inorganic chemical substances correlated with current theories of atomic and molecular structure and the periodic table. Special emphasis on current topics in inorganic chemistry. Fall semester, even years.
Organic structures and reactivities, methods of studying reaction mechanisms (including spectroscopy), and comprehensive study of mechanisms of organic reactions. Topics will include ideas important in modern organic chemistry including the relationship of structure and reactivity, functional group manipulations, spectroscopy, methods of studying reaction mechanisms, and a comprehensive study of mechanisms of organic reactions. Offered periodically.
