CHEMISTRY LABORATORY WORK
All Chemistry courses have laboratory classes of about three hours duration each week, unless otherwise indicated. In the fourth year, only Chemistry 4000 and 4990 have formalized laboratory components.

1001 INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY 1
Fundamental concepts of experimental Chemistry such as stoichiometry and gas laws are reviewed and amplified. Atomic theory is introduced and, together with Periodic Table considerations, used to develop chemical bonding and molecular geometry. Other topics include thermochemistry, electrochemistry, colligative properties and, if time permits, kinetics.
Students enrolling in Chemistry 1001 should normally have completed a university preparatory course in Chemistry.

1021 INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY II
Chemical equilibria, especially gas, acid-base and solubility equilibria, form a major portion of this course. The other major portion is organic chemistry which will be introduced by a discussion of the structure, bonding, nomenclature and reactions of hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and benzene).
Prereq: Chemistry 1001; or permission of the Department.

1501 CHEMISTRY IN MODERN SOCIETY
This course, intended for non-science students, will focus on chemistry topics that have bearing on modern living and the environment. Fundamental notions of modern chemistry will be developed and links with other disciplines identified.

Students enrolling in Chemistry 1501 should normally have completed a university preparatory course in Chemistry. This course is restricted to non-science majors. Science majors require the instructor's permission to enroll.

2131 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY FOR THE LIFE SCIENCES
The structures, bonding, reactions and nomenclature of organic compounds containing the common functional groups will be discussed. Special recognition will be given to those functional groups and reactions important in Biochemistry. The laboratory part of the course will provide experience in applying the techniques of organic chemistry to the isolation, handling, characterization and synthesis of representative organic compounds.
Prereq: Chemistry 1021; or permission of the Department.

2141 ELEMENTARY ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I
This course will emphasize and develop structural basics including aromaticity, resonance, and stereochemistry. An appreciation of the link between structure, mechanism and reactivity will be developed.
Prereq: Chemistry 1021; or permission of the Department.

2151 ELEMENTARY ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II
Functional group chemistry will be used to develop more sophisticated mechanistic skills. Problems in organic synthesis will be studied within a mechanistic context. An introduction to the interpretation of first order proton nmr spectra will be included.
Prereq: Chemistry 2141; or permission of the Department.

2221 PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY I
An introduction to the kinetic and thermodynamic aspects of chemistry. Topics covered include experimental kinetics and the laws of thermodynamics with their applications in thermochemistry and phase and chemical equilibria.
Prereq: Chemistry 1001 and 1021; Math 1121 or 1131; or permission of the Department.

2321 INORGANIC CHEMISTRY I: MAIN GROUP ELEMENTS
This course will examine the structure and bonding of main group compounds. Concepts covered will include symmetry, covalent (Lewis theory) and ionic bonding, valence shell electron pair repulsion theory, and valence bond and molecular orbital theories. A survey of the properties and reactions of hydrogen, groups 1, 2 and 13-18 will be undertaken.
Prereq: Chemistry 1021; or permission of the Department.
