General Chemistry I
General Chemistry I introduces the basic principles of chemistry, emphasizing the structure and behavior of matter at the atomic and molecular levels. Topics within this module include atomic theory, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, chemical reactions, thermochemistry, the properties of gases, and periodic trends. Geared towards science, premedical, and engineering majors, General Chemistry I builds the conceptual and quantitative framework necessary for advanced study in chemistry and related fields found later on.
General Chemistry II
General Chemistry II builds upon the foundational concepts from General Chemistry I. Topics covered include chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acid-base chemistry, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, coordination compounds, and an introduction to organic chemistry. Emphasis is placed on developing problem-solving skills, understanding theoretical concepts, and applying knowledge to real-world systems.
Organic Chemistry I
Organic Chemistry I introduces the structure, properties, and reactivity of carbon-containing compounds. Topics include bonding and molecular structure, resonance, acid-base properties, stereochemistry, and mechanisms of fundamental reactions such as substitution, elimination, reactions of alkenes, and reactions of alkynes. Emphasis in this course is placed on understanding reaction mechanisms, predicting product outcomes, and applying concepts to real-world organic molecules. The course ends in solving problems that involve interpreting IR and NMR spectra.
Organic Chemistry II
Organic Chemistry II continues the study of carbon-based compounds with a focus on more complex functional groups and reaction mechanisms. Topics include the chemistry of alcohols, ethers, carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acid derivatives, aromatic compounds, amines, pericyclic reactions and much more. The course also covers advanced reaction mechanisms, multistep synthesis, and further interpretation of IR, NMR, and mass spectra. As with Organic Chemistry I, this course emphasizes the understanding of reaction mechanisms, predicting product outcomes, and applying concepts to real-world organic molecules.
