Description: |
CHEM 172 is the second semester of a one-year exploration of the fundamental concepts, principles, and practices of organic chemistry, with a focus on defining relationships between molecular structure, reactivity, and function. You (the student) will take an active role in defining questions, evaluating evidence, weighing arguments, developing and testing hypotheses, and communicating these complex topics. This study of organic chemistry will be integrated with a review of the key concepts from general chemistry and will highlight relationships with related areas including organometallic chemistry, polymer chemistry, and biochemistry. The CHEM171/172 sequence is designed for first-year students with good preparation in chemistry (2 years of general chemistry and an AP score of 4 or 5, or equivalent). This sequence provides a fast-track to advanced chemistry courses and the fulfillment of degree requirements in other disciplines. Co-registration in a workshop section is required. Co-registration in the accompanying lab—CHEM208 or CHEM210(W)—is strongly encouraged; CHM210W is recommended for CHEM majors. $134 lab fee billed by Bursar Office. Prerequisites: CHEM 171 and CHEM 173. |
