Experience in classical and modern physiochemical techniques applied to making meaningful chemical measurements. Pre-lab lecture. Part illustrates material offered in junior-level chemistry major physical chemistry lecture course; part is independent. Prerequisites: working knowledge of common analytical techniques or CHEM 315; MATH 233, PHYSICS 152; concurrent enrollment in CHEM 473, 474, 475, or 476.

Introduction to modern quantum chemistry and wave mechanics, atomic and molecular structure and spectroscopy.

An overview of physical chemistry (thermodynamics, kinetics, statistical and quantum mechanics, and spectroscopy) emphasizing applications to biology including macromolecule structure and stability, ligand binding, enzyme catalysis, and membrance structure and transport.

This is a stand-alone independent study designed by the student and faculty sponsor that involves frequent interaction between instructor and student. Qualitative and quantitative enrichment must be evident on the proposed contract before consent is given to undertake the study.

For third year students. Does not satisfy the B.S. independent research project requirement. Experimental or theoretical study that may involve lab or library work or a combination. Work supervised by faculty sponsor who determines direction of project, nature of reports required, and grade and credit awarded. 3-4 hrs lab work per week per 1 unit is expected. This course cannot substitute for CHEM 388 or CHEM 499Y/T.

Used to satisfy the B.S. independent project requirement. A research project, which may consist of laboratory work or theoretical work or both. Project and research director selected by student with consent of instructor and departmental Undergraduate Research Coordinator required. About 8-10 hours of independent work per week, in close consultation with research director, culminating in written and oral reports. A copy of the written report must be included in the student's academic folder.

Chemical periodicity, reaction behavior and structural interrelationships within the framework of a systematic treatment of the main group and transition elements.

Satisfies Junior Year Writing requirement. Develops written and oral communication skills. Emphasizes writing as a process. Covers letters, summaries, critiques, reports, articles, reviews, resumes, and proposals.
