1A. General Chemistry. Mr. Garza-López, Mr.
Grieman, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Lopez, Mr. Moersch, Ms. Yu. An introduction to basic thermodynamic,
kinetic, and structural principles; ionic equilibria; and
the physical and chemical properties of the more common
chemical elements and their compounds. Laboratory work is
coordinated with the lecture and emphasizes quantitative
analytical and instrumental techniques and molecular
modeling. Interactive computing is an integral part of the
second semester. High school chemistry recommended.
51. General Chemistry
(accelerated). Mr. Arora, Mr. Johal. An accelerated
introductory course for well-prepared students. Ionic
equilibrium, atomic structure, molecular bonding and
structure, chemical thermodynamics, and chemical kinetics.
Laboratory work emphasizes quantitative analytical and
instrumental techniques. Interactive computing is an
integral part of the course. Prerequisite: two or more years
of high school chemistry and a passing score on a placement
examination.
110A. Organic Chemistry with Lab.
Mr. Arora,
Ms. Nevarez, Mr. O'Leary, Mr. Vasquez. A study of organic
compounds, including synthesis and reaction mechanisms.
Laboratory includes both synthesis and qualitative organic
analysis. Prerequisite: Chemistry 1A,B or 51.
115. Biochemistry with Lab.
Mr. Crane, Mr. Lopez, Ms. Negritto, Mr. Sazinsky. Biological
molecules considered in terms of their structure and roles
in the dynamic processes by which energy and information are
received, interconverted, and transmitted in order to
maintain life. Laboratory emphasizes techniques, and
instrumentation used to study the nature of biochemical
molecules and processes. Prerequisite: Chemistry 110A,B.
158A. Physical Chemistry.
Mr. Grieman. Quantum mechanics with applications to
chemical bonding and molecular spectroscopy, introduction to
statistical mechanics and kinetic gas theory. Prerequisites:
1A,B or 51; PHYS 51A,B; MATH 32 or 107.
161. Advanced Analytical Chemistry
and Laboratory. Mr. Taylor, Ms. Yu.
Study of modern instrumental methods of analysis with
emphasis on spectroscopic, separation and electro-analytical
methods. Laboratory experience includes work with many of
these modern instrumental methods and an examination of the
analysis of variance. Prerequisite: 110A.
175. Introduction of Medicinal
Chemistry with Computational Lab. Ms. Selassie. An
interdisciplinary course provides a basic understanding of
the key underlying mechanistic principles of drug
interactions at the molecular and cellular level. Topics
include physico-chemical principles of drug design and
action, receptor effectors theories, receptor
characterization, DNA interactions, drug distribution and
metabolism, as well as pro-drug chemistry. Prerequisite:
110A,B. |
