Chemistry 2: Organic Structure and Bonding — CHE4212.01

Spring 2015
Instructor: Janet Foley
Credits: 4
Students will explore stoichiometric relationships in solution and gas systems which are the basis of quantifying results of chemical reactions. Understanding chemical reactivity leads directly into discussion of equilibrium and thermodynamics, two of the most important ideas in chemistry. Equilibrium, especially acid/base applications, explores the extent of reactions while

Chemistry 3: Organic Reactions Mechanisms — CHE4213.01

Fall 2014
Instructor: janet foley
Days & Time: TBA
Credits: 4
Chemistry 3 focuses on how reactions happen: what the steps are, how we discover them, and how we use this to look at some practical systems: the synthesis of a drug, the kinetics of substitution. Emphasis will be using the general principles such as nucleophiles and electrophiles, to guide an understanding of specific reactions. Lab will focus on several clusters of
