*First day attendance required; In-class time used primarily for lecturing; practicing problem-solving is primarily outside of class*
Details
This course offers a rigorous, foundational treatment of atoms and molecules. We study the nature of chemical bonding and how bonding gives rise to the three-dimensional structure of matter. We explore how the macroscopic properties of substances can be interpreted in terms of atomic and molecular structure. We also learn mathematical and conceptual tools for quantifying chemical equilibrium, with an emphasis on the reactions of acids and bases. Laboratory work reinforces concepts in lecture, and also provides a review of fundamental topics, such as stoichiometry, gas laws, and solution-phase reactions, that are essential for future course work in chemistry. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week. All sections of class will have regular graded homework assignments and tests. Lab fee of $12 required.

*First-Year course only; first day attendance required' $12 materials fee charged*
Details
This course combines topics from both CHEM 111 and CHEM 112 and is meant to be an accelerated one-semester version of General Chemistry. The course begins with a rigorous treatment of atomic and molecular structure, including various models of chemical bonding. These ideas are applied to a thorough discussion of chemical thermodynamics and kinetics. Conceptual and mathematical methods for quantifying chemical equilibrium are also explored, as well as theoretical and practical aspects of nuclear chemistry. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week. Students cannot receive credit for both this course and for either CHEM 111 or CHEM 112 . Lab fee of $12 required. Prerequisite(s): AP CHEM score of 4 or 5; IB CHEM score of 5, 6, or 7; or satisfactory performance on an online placement examination. Some knowledge of calculus is expected. Open only to incoming first-year students.

*First-Year course only; first day attendance required*
Details
This one-semester course integrates topics from Macalester’s first-semester and second-semester general chemistry classes and is designed for incoming first-year students with astrong high school foundation in chemistry. The course begins with an intuitive introduction to quantum mechanics that we then use to explain the structure and properties of atoms and molecules. We then apply our understanding of atoms and molecules to gain a novel perspective on macroscopic concepts such as energy, entropy, and the rates of chemical reactions. Classes will largely consist of lectures and demonstrations. Weekly laboratory sessions will reinforce concepts from class and teach students how to make written scientific arguments based on experimental and computational data. Students completing this course are prepared to take sophomore-level courses in analytical and organic chemistry.

This course develops a broad understanding of the theoretical concepts of organic chemistry. Molecular orbital theory and valence bond resonance theory are invoked to describe and explain the ramification of covalent bonding in organic molecules, as well as to rationalize fundamental noncovalent associations. Thermodynamic considerations of 3-dimensional molecular shape are discussed. Contemporary instrumental techniques for the assignment of molecular structure are a key focus. Modern mechanistic theory of organic chemical reactions is developed in the context of acid-base, nucleophilic substitution, elimination, and electrophilic addition reactions. Three lectures, four hours laboratory per week. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 112 with a grade of C- or better or CHEM 115 with a grade of C- or better.

A study of biological processes at the molecular level with an emphasis on the chemistry of biological molecules, elements of physical biochemistry, the structure of proteins, the mechanisms and kinetics of enzyme catalyzed reactions, and selected topics in intermediary metabolism, including the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids. Three lecture hours and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 200 and CHEM 212, or permission of instructor. Students must earn a C- or higher in prerequisite courses.

*First day attendance required*
Details
This course will provide training on how science is communicated within professional venues and examine how it is communicated effectively (and ineffectively) to the broader public by focusing on the particular conventions, challenges, and opportunities of communicating as a scientist. The unit on professional scientific communication will include topics such as scientific literature, proposals, oral presentations, and ethics. The unit on public scientific communication will include topics such as science outreach, scientific knowledge in the general public, social media, and ethics of public science communication. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 212.

*First day attendance required*
Details
This course examines how modern theories of chemical bonding are applied to an understanding of the chemistry of the elements of the periodic table. Students explore chemical structures, reactions and spectra on the basis of molecular symmetry and group theory. Topics covered include chemical periodicity, coordination compounds, and organometallic complexes.Three lectures and three hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 312 with a grade of C- or better, or permission of the instructor.
