CHEM 360 - Inorganic Chemistry Credits 3 Covering the chemistry of the entire periodic table, the course begins with atomic theory and then introduces symmetry and group theory before looking in depth at chemical bonding and acid-base chemistry, the chemistry and properties of solids, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and nanomaterials. Grade Mode: A. Prerequisites: CHEM 302 with a grade of ’C-’ or better; MATH 105. Restrictions: Must be Undergraduate Level. CHEM 380 - Introduction to Physical Chemistry Credits 3 Course introduces thermodynamics, kinetic and quantum mechanic principles underlying molecular properties and chemical reactivity with specific application to biological systems. Macromolecular behavior and spectroscopic tools are included. Grade Mode: A. Prerequisites: CHEM 106, MATH 105; PHSC 112 or 233. Restrictions: Must be Undergraduate Level. CHEM 390 - Introduction to Food Chemistry Credits 4 This course will introduce students to the chemistry of the key components in foods, their properties and interactions, and changes that occur during different stages of production. Lectures will provide the molecular bases behind food behavior. The laboratory will give students practical experience in basic food chemistry techniques, and help demonstrate concepts from lecture.
