Chemistry (CHM)

CHM 115  Introductory Chemistry  (4 Credits)  
This course is designed to prepare students who require one semester of introductory chemistry for interdisciplinary non-major students. Students are introduced to the basic concept of chemistry such as structure of atoms, molecular formula, chemical bonding, different types of reactions, stoichiometric calculations, phases of matters and acids and bases.
Corequisite: Lab 115  
CHM 121  General Chemistry I/LAB  (4 Credits)  
This course is an introduction to the fundamentals of chemistry including: atoms and molecules, chemical reactions and stochiometry, solutions, chemical bonding, and periodic table and trends.
Prerequisite: MTH 102, Corequisite: LAB 121  
CHM 122  General Chemistry II/LAB  (4 Credits)  
This course is an introduction to the fundamentals of chemistry including: solutions, thermodynamics, kinetics, chemical equilibrium, and organic chemistry.
Prerequisite: MTH 102, Corequisite: LAB 122  
CHM 240  Survey of Organic Chemistry/LAB  (4 Credits)  
This course is designed to prepare students who require one semester of introductory chemistry for interdisciplinary non-major students. Students are introduced to the basic concept of chemistry such as structure of atoms, molecular formula, chemical bonding, different types of reactions, stoichiometric calculations, phases of matters and acids and bases.
Prerequisite: CHM 122 General Chemistry II (3 Credits) - Corequisite: LAB 240  
CHM 341  Organic Chemistry I/LAB  (4 Credits)  
Course will emphasize structure and bonding, nomenclature, stereochemistry and functional groups.
