Lewis & Clark Moodle

Introduction to the general principles of
chemistry required for students planning a
professional career in chemistry, a related
science, the health professions, or engineering.
Stoichiometry, atomic structure, chemical bonding
and geometry, thermochemistry, gases, types of
chemical reactions, statistics. Weekly laboratory
exercises emphasizing qualitative and quantitative
techniques that complement the lecture material.
Lecture, discussion, laboratory.

The basic principles of organic chemistry from a, mechanistic perspective. Bonding (Lewis, structures, atomic and molecular orbitals);, stereochemistry (chiral compounds, enantiomers,, diastereomers, conformers, optical activity,, Fischer projections); nomenclature; chemistry of, alkanes (free-radical substitution,, reaction-coordinate energy diagrams, asymmetric, induction); chemistry of alkyl halides, alcohols,, ethers (substitution and elimination reactions,, carbocations, pKa, nucleophilicity, leaving, groups, kinetics); infrared (IR) and nuclear, magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy; chemistry, of alkenes (addition and elimination reactions,, oxidation and reduction, hydroboration, inductive, and resonance effects of substituents, regio- and, stereoselectivity); chemistry of alkynes (acidity,, addition reactions); introduction to, organometallic compounds. Lecture, discussion,, laboratory.

Chemistry of aldehydes and ketones (reactions at
and adjacent to the carbonyl group, enolization,
conjugate addition, oxidation, reduction).
Lecture, conference, laboratory. Synthesis,
chemistry of carboxylic acids and derivatives (pKa
of acids, nucleophilic substitution of
derivatives, acyl chlorides, esters, amides,
anhydrides, nitriles). Carbohydrates
(stereochemistry, aldoketoses, aldopentoses,
aldohexoses, ketosugars, derivatives, furanose and
pyranose forms, reducing and nonreducing sugars,
disaccharides and polysaccharides); fats and oils;
aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, resonance and
molecular orbital approaches, electrophilic and
nucleophilic aromatic substitution); aromatic
nitrogen and oxygen chemistry (diazotization,
synthesis); chemistry of amines, amino acids,
peptides, proteins, DNA; other topics. Lecture,
discussion, laboratory.

Fundamental concepts of classical physical, chemistry. Thermodynamics first, second, and third, laws; phase equilibria; chemical equilibria;, kinetics theory and practice; reaction rates.
