Continuation of the development of fundamental principles of chemistry and application of principles developed in CHEM 1A. Principles of inorganic chemistry, including intermolecular forces, solutions, colligative properties, kinetics; further aspects of equilibrium including acid-base and solubility equilibrium, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, descriptive chemistry, and qualitative analysis; coordination chemistry. Nuclear chemistry may be presented as time permits.

Fundamental principles of inorganic chemistry; nomenclature of inorganic compounds, chemical formulas, equations and reactions; stoichiometry; structure of atoms, ions, and molecules and periodic table; oxidation-reduction and acid-base reactions; gas laws; thermochemistry and equilibrium. Students who have not successfully completed high school chemistry are strongly recommended to take CHEM 2A prior to CHEM 1A.

Introduction to fundamental principles of inorganic chemistry; structure and bonding, nomenclature, chemical equations and reactions, stoichiometry, acids, bases, and chemical equilibrium, redox, gases, solutions, and nuclear chemistry.

Introduction to fundamental concepts of organic and biochemistry. Topics of instruction include (1) structure, nomenclature, and reactions of some organic compounds and drugs, (2) stereochemistry, (3) structure and metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, enzyme activity and inhibition, nucleic acids and DNA, and (4) bioenergetics. Completion of this course along with CHEM 2A is designed to satisfy the requirements of those allied-health career programs which require two semesters of chemistry.

A survey of basic concepts and practices of chemistry. Designed for non-science majors desiring an introduction to fundamental chemistry concepts and skills. Not intended for students who will enroll in subsequent chemistry coursework.

An investigation of basic principles of physics and chemistry including matter, physical and chemical properties, energy, motion, light, atomic structure, bonding, solutions and chemical reactions. The inter-dependence of chemistry and physics will be emphasized. This course is intended for non-science majors. Students who take an online section will be required to purchase lab kits for home use.

A continuation of CHEM 18A. Designed for students planning professional school studies in health and life sciences. Emphasis on the preparation, reactions and identification of organometallic compounds, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and their derivatives, alkyl and acyl amines, B-dicarbonyl compounds, and various classes of naturally occurring biologically important compounds.

This is the first semester of a one-year course in organic chemistry intended for majors in the natural sciences (chemistry, biochemistry, biology, physics, and pre-medicine).

Introduction to the basic concepts of organic chemistry with emphasis on stereochemistry, chemistry of hydrocarbons, aromatic and aliphatic substitution reactions, and elimination reactions. Designed primarily for majors in chemistry, engineering and premedical and health careers.

This course is the second semester in the 28 series of organic chemistry. This course is designed primarily for chemistry, engineering, premedical, pharmacy and other majors who require a more intensive organic chemistry course. Emphasis on carbonyl compounds and their derivatives and biological compounds of interest. Spectrometry is featured.
