A study of the basic concepts of general chemistry. Atomic structures and chemical bonding, states of matter, chemical reactions, solutions, rates of reactions and equilibria, acids and bases, and oxidation reactions will be studied. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory period per week. The laboratory experiments will parallel the lecture content.

Organic molecules and their functional groups and biomolecules and their function in living cells will be studied.Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory period per week.The laboratory will include experiments in organic and biological chemistry. Prerequisite: Chemistry 103 or permission of instructor.

A study of the chemistry of the hydrocarbons, alchohols, and alkyl halides.An introduction to organic reaction mechanisms and stereochemistry.Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory period per week.Prerequisite: Chemistry 104 or permission of instructor.

A study of ethers, Ketones, amines, acids, and aromatic hydrocarbons.The study of organic reaction mechanisms is continued.Spectroscopic methods of analysis (IR, NMR, mass spectrometry) are introduced.Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory period per week.Prerequisite: Chemistry 221.

Advanced topics in organic chemistry, with an emphasis in reaction mechanism, kinetics, and other currently active area of organic chemistry.Three lectures per week.Prerequisite: Chemistry 222

Optical, electrical, and chromatographic methods of quantitative analysis and theoretical study.The class meets for three lectures per week for the first two-thirds of the semester; laboratory experiments are performed during the last one-third of the semester.Prerequisite: Chemistry 104 or permission of instructor.

An introduction to the chemistry of living systems.Some topics discussed include pH and buffers, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and enzymes.This knowledge is then applied to a study of the metabolism of the major cell constituents and integrated through a consideration of the interrelations among the carbon, nitrogen, and energy cycles.Three lectures per week.Prerequisite: Chemistry 222.

The purpose of the laboratory is to provide practical hands-on experience for students so they can appreciate the reactions taking place in the cells God has created. The experiments will be organized to parallel the various topics in Chemistry 325.
