This course will focus on principles and analysis of chemical movement and distribution in natural environments. Sampling and analytical methods are included for water, soil and air. Consideration of the influence of man on the chemistry of the environment will be addressed. Prerequisite: BIO-125 and CHE-125 with "C" or better.

A study of the fundamental principles and concepts in organic chemistry. The course begins by focusing on molecular structure, acidity, physical properties of functional groups, and organic nomenclature. These topics form the basis for understanding and planning nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions, which are then applied to both synthesis and reactivity of numerous functional groups. The concepts are subsequently applied to addition reactions of alkenes and alkynes. Prerequisites: CHE-126. Co-requisite: CHE-235L.

Laboratory study explores the basic operations of organic synthesis and purification as well as natural product isolation. Chemical products are analyzed both by determination of physical properties as well as spectrophotmetric analysis. Co-requisite: CHE-235.

A study of all the major classes of carbon compounds. First-semester emphasis is on structure and nomenclature with an introduction to elementary reactions and reaction mechanisms. Second-semester emphasis is on reactions, synthesis, and analysis. Prerequisite: CHE-235. Co-requisite: CHE-236L.

Lab taken as a co-requisite to CHE-236.
