CORE CHEMISTRY COURSES
PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY
This course emphasizes the fundamental concepts and principles of chemistry which can be integrated in the higher chemistry courses. The topics covered are the structure and properties of matter, and the energetics, equilibria, and kinetic aspects of chemical reactions.
INORGANIC CHEMISTRY 1
This course seeks to reinforce the theory of acid-base chemistry introduced in the Principles of Chemistry; introduce the descriptive chemistry of representative elements, its chemical compounds, electrochemistry, and reduction-oxidation reactions.
INORAGNIC CHEMISTRY 2
This course is devoted to the study of the principles and trends in the chemistry of the elements and the essentials of structure, bonding, and reactivity of inorganic systems. Specifically, this course seeks to establish structure and reactivity correlations in inorganic systems and nuclear chemistry, descriptive chemistry of non-metals and metals.
ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY 1
This course is designed to give students an understanding of the principles and practice of gravimetric and volumetric methods, potentiometry and analytical measurements and data analysis.
ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY 2
This course builds on the knowledge and laboratory skills that students gained in Analytical Chemistry 1. The students will learn the theories and applications of instrumental methods of analysis including electrochemical and spectroscopic methods. Emphasis on the principles of instrumentation, instrument components, limitations, and analytical techniques.
ANAYLTICAL CHEMISTRY 3
This course is designed to develop knowledge and skills for analytical separations and instrumental methods of analysis particularly on chromatography and nuclear-analytical techniques.
ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY 4
This course describes the practice of analytical chemistry as an information science emphasizing on statistics, quality assurance, and introductory chemometrics.
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 1

The topics covered are the following: Structure and Bonding; Representative carbon compounds; Functional groups; Nomenclature; Intermolecular forces; Electronic and structural Effects; Stereochemistry; Alkanes an Cycloalkanes; Haloalkanes; Nucleophilic Substitution and Elimination Reactions; Ins
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 2
This course introduces the students to the basic foundations of Organic Chemistry and Organic Chemistry Reactions, Synthesis, and retrosynthetic analysis.
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 3
This course introduces the students to the advanced topics of Organic Chemistry. The topics covered are the following: Advance Spectroscopy (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Mass Spectroscopy), Retrosynthesis, Pericyclic Reactions, Carbanion and Carbocation Chemistry, Chemistry of Natural Products, Heterocyclic Chemistry.
PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY 1
This course provides the foundations in chemical thermodynamics, physical and chemical equilibria, and an introduction to statistical thermodynamics.
PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY 2
This course is a continuation of Physical Chemistry 1. It covers the application of chemical thermodynamics to physical and chemical equilibrium systems, electrochemistry, transport properties, chemical kinetics, and surface chemistry.
PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY 3
This course presents an introduction to the basic principles of quantum mechanics and its applications. It focuses on a conceptual understanding of quantum theory and the application of these concepts to solve chemical problems.
BIOCHEMISTRY 1
This course covers the structural chemistry of the components of living matter and how this relates to biological function. It also covers some of the structure-function, kinetics, and regulation of biological catalysts.
BIOCHEMISTRY 2
This course covers the basic chemistry of processes involved in the flow of biological information, the principles of metabolism, and the chemistry of the primary metabolic pathways.
