CHM 100 Chemistry for the Health Sciences (3-3) 4 hrs.
Introduces basic concepts of inorganic and organic chemistry and biochemistry. Emphasizes chemical principles applied to biological systems. Laboratory exercises apply theory to biological and consumer products. Especially designed for students in allied health sciences. Meets the prerequisite of the Nursing Program. IAI P1 902L

CHM 110 Fundamentals of Chemistry (3-3) 4 hrs.
Introduces concepts of chemistry. Emphasizes the composition of matter, the periodic table, the chemistry of solutions and chemical calculations. The laboratory experiments utilize many common household materials to demonstrate applications of chemical concepts. For students whose preparation does not permit enrollment in CHM 121. IAI P1 902L
Prerequisite:
MTH 080 or MTH 087 with a grade of C or better or concurrent enrollment.

CHM 121 General Chemistry I (4-3) 5 hrs.
Studies principles of atomic and molecular structure, bonding, stoichiometry, states of matter, kinetic molecular theory, and solutions. Corresponding laboratory experiments include volumetric and gravimetric analyses, a qualitative study of reactions, visible spectrophotometry, and problem-based analyses. Intended for all students whose majors require general chemistry, including science majors and pre-professionals. The course also satisfies a general education laboratory science requirement for students with previous chemistry experience.

Prerequisite:
Two semesters of high school chemistry, or CHM 110 and MTH 080 or MTH 087 with grades of C or better, or consent of instructor.

CHM 122 General Chemistry II (4-3) 5 hrs.
Continues CHM 121 as the second semester of a general chemistry sequence intended for all students whose major requires a full year of general chemistry, including science majors and pre-professionals. Includes the principles of chemical kinetics, equilibrium, acid-base reactions, electrochemistry, and thermodynamics. Also introduces topics in organic, nuclear, transition metal, and descriptive chemistry. Laboratory includes experiments related to lecture material. IAI BIO 907 IAI EGR 962 IAI CHM 912 IAI NUR 907
Prerequisite:
CHM 121 with a grade of C or better, or consent of instructor.

CHM 125 Organic and Biochemistry for the Health Sciences (3-3) 4 hrs.
Introduces principles and health applications of organic chemistry and biochemistry. Studies the structure, nomenclature and reactions of organic compounds. Also studies carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, metabolic pathways and bioenergetics. Includes related laboratory exercises. Intended for students in the allied health sciences but open to all non-physical science majors.
Prerequisite:
CHM 110 or CHM 121 with a grade of C or better or placement exam and consent of the chemistry department chairperson.

CHM 201 Basic Organic Chemistry (3-3) 4 hrs.
Surveys topics of organic chemistry covering nomenclature, structure, reactions and synthesis of the major classes of organic compounds, including hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and amines. The laboratory includes experiments in distillation, crystallization, chromatography, extraction, synthesis and analysis. IAI NUR 908
Prerequisite:
CHM 100, CHM 110, or CHM 121 with a grade of C or better or consent of instructor.

CHM 204 Organic Chemistry I (3-6) 5 hrs.
Applies modern theories of electronic structures to the study of chemical and physical properties of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and alkyl halides. Students also study reaction mechanisms and stereochemistry as they apply to the above classes of organic compounds. Laboratory includes syntheses, qualitative organic analyses, IR and visible spectrophotometry, gas chromatography, thin layer chromatography, HPLC, polarimetry, and refractometry. Intended primarily for science majors and pre-professionals. IAI BIO 908 IAI EGR 963 IAI CHM 913
Prerequisite:
CHM 122 with a grade of C or better or consent of instructor.

CHM 205 Organic Chemistry II (3-6) 5 hrs.
Continues CHM 204. IAI BIO 909 IAI EGR 964 IAI CHM 914
Prerequisite:
CHM 204 with a grade of C or better.

CHM 210 Quantitative Analysis (3-6) 5 hrs.
Introduces theory and applications of sampling and quantitative chemical analysis with a focus on acid-base equilibria, complexation, extraction and chromatography, solubility, precipitation, redox reactions, and activity. Considerable emphasis is placed on extended equilibrium concepts and the fundamentals of spectroscopy. Laboratory experiments are related to lecture topics; they emphasize experimental precision and accuracy and include spreadsheet-based computer calculations.
Prerequisite:
CHM 122 or equivalent with a grade of C or better.
