COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is a continuation of CHM 103. Some topics include acid base chemistry, nuclear chemistry with an emphasis on the radioisotopes and nuclear reactions, organic chemistry, with emphasis on nomenclature, structure and properties of qualitative and quantitative testing procedures. Use of periodicals and reference texts is stressed.
TEXT AND MATERIALS:
Chemistry: General, Organic and Biological Chemistry 2nd Ed. Author: Timberlake. Materials: Scientific calculator, notebook, laboratory notebook, goggles. Willingness to learn
RELATIONSHIP TO PROGRAMS:
Applied ChemistryII CHM 104 is a continuation of CHM 103, with emphasis on nuclear and organic chemistry.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
The student who successfully completes this course will
- Name using IUPAC nomenclature and draw structures for hydorcarbons.
- Name using IUPAC nomenclature and draw structures for basic organic functional groups.
- Identify some simple fats, sugar, and protein molecules.
GRADING SYSTEM:
The grading for this course will be determined as follows
| 3 Test | 16 % Each |
|---|---|
| Quizzes total | 16% Total |
| 1 Final | 16 % Total |
| Lab | 20% |
| TOTAL% | 100% |
Grade distribution: 100%-90% [ A ]; 89%-80% [ B ]; 79%-70% [ C ]; 69%-60 % [ D ]; < 60 [ F ] Quizzes will be based almost exclusively on homework. Test will also be based on the homework with the possibility of some multiple choice questions. Quizzes and labs cannot be made up.
ATTENDANCE AND WITHDRAWAL:
Attendance is mandatory. Without proper attendance a student will not do well in this course. To be successful in chemistry one must pay attention in lecture and conscientiously do the homework. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that she/he is doing well in this course.
SUPPORT SERVICES:
Tutoring services are available in the Library. There is also study lounge available in Horton Hall, which is close to all the faculty offices. There are services available for students with disabilities. Any such conditions should be communicated privately to the instructor on the first day of class so that any necessary special arrangements or accommodations can be made.
