10 courses with the subject CHEM, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
CHEM 1000Intro to Chemistry4
Students will learn the principles of chemistry with some inorganic applications including atomic and molecular structures; periodic law; ionic theory; bonding; behavior of solid, liquid, and gaseous states of matter, stoichiometry, solutions, equilibrium, kinetics, and electrochemistry. Hands-on experiments to teach students some of the basic skills.
Placement at Math Level 3 or concurrent enrollment in MATH 0930 - Intermediate Algebra (3 hrs lec, 2 hrs lab)
CHEM 1002Integrated Sciences4
An introduction to the concepts and methodologies of science, which integrates basic principles from the physical, geological, and biological sciences. The idea behind each of the concepts is also treated in its historical context, with special attention to its importance in understanding the nature of the universe. The course is intended for non-science majors and uses little mathematics. Credit cannot be earned in both BIOL 1002 and CHEM 1002. (3 hrs lec, 2 hrs lab)
Principles and theories of Chemistry, designed for science and related concentrations. Students acquire knowledge of atomic and molecular structures; periodic law; ionic theory; behavior and properties of gaseous, liquid, and solid states of matter; plus some study of nonmetallic elements.
High school chemistry preferred. Concurrent enrollment in MATH 1400 or above or equivalent math background, or completion of CHEM 1000 . (4 hrs lec, 3 hrs lab)
CHEM 1030General Chemistry II4
Continues CHEM 1020 . Students acquire knowledge of oxidation-reduction reactions, additional nonmetals, groups on the periodic chart, kinetics, equilibrium, PH, buffers, thermodynamics, solution preparation, radioactivity, nuclear chemistry, and organic chemistry.
Minimum grade of “C” in CHEM 1020. (3 hrs lec, 3 hrs lab)
CHEM 1090Fundamentals of Physical Universe4
Applies fundamental principles of chemistry and physics to real life situations. Designed primarily for students specializing in elementary education. Equivalent to PHYS 1090 .
MATH 1400 or equivalent, CHEM 1000 or CHEM 1030 . (2 hrs lec, 6 hrs lab)
CHEM 2300Intro to Organic Chemistry4
Students learn basic principles and methods of organic Chemistry including nomenclature, structure, reactions, reaction mechanisms, and stereo chemistry. They also acquire introductory knowledge of nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared, ultraviolet, and mass spectral analysis of organic compounds.
CHEM 1000 or CHEM 1020 . Not for students who have taken CHEM 2420 or CHEM 2440 . (4 hrs lec)
CHEM 2420Organic Chemistry I4
The first semester of a continuing course studying aliphatic compounds of carbon. Includes nomenclature, structure, preparation, reactions, reaction mechanisms, and stereo chemistry. Introduces nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet, infrared, and mass spectral analysis of organic compounds.
Aromatic compounds stressed. Emphasizes functional groups of compounds covered first semester along with others. Covers fats, carbohydrates, and proteins in the latter part of course as background for biochemistry.
Students design and implement an independent laboratory project involving either chemical synthase or chemical analysis. Students are evaluated on their ability to organize their laboratory notebook, integrate scientific literature into their project, provide a thirty- minute project-based presentation before the Physical Science Division faculty and respond to questions about their work. Concurrent enrollment in CHEM 2440 and successful completion of at least 30 credit hours. (.5 hr lec, 1 hr lab)
