Welcome to Dr. Daley’s Courses Page. Below you will find information on what course(s) Dr. Daley is currently teaching and those which he has taught in the past. Please note that all course WebPages will be found on CE6.
This is an advanced laboratory course which integrates techniques and concepts from inorganic and physical chemistry plus, to a lesser extent, analytical chemistry. A wide variety of classical and modern methods of experimental chemistry, including both wet chemical and instrumental methods, will be used in experiments which show the interrelationships between these three areas of chemistry. Also, instruction in the proper methods of recording and reporting chemical experiments and practice in those methods will be included. The class meets twice a week. Prerequisites: CHEM 220 or BIOL 300L, CHEM 440, and CHEM 311. Students are encouraged to take CHEM 312 prior to or concurrently with this course.
Introduction to the principles, methods, and communication of chemical research. Lab work includes general and advanced techniques with considerable hands-on use of modern instruments, proper record-keeping, data management, and consideration of laboratory safety. Techniques for searching the chemical literature are included. This course fulfills the upper-division writing requirement. Students will write and edit a report in a format suitable for journal publication. One lecture and eight hours of laboratory research weekly. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
This is the first of two semester lecture courses which introduces the fundamental principles of modern chemistry. These principles, which include atomic and molecular structure, periodicity, reactivity, stoichiometry, bonding, acid-base chemistry, and states of matter, will be used and expanded upon in more advanced courses. It is also an Honors course and thus includes an extra component, which will be the evaluation of chemistry in history through the reading of the book Napoleon's buttons. The class meets three times a week. Prerequisite: MATH 115 or a passing score on the Level 1 math placement exam. Co-requisite: CHEM 151L.
This is the first semester of the two-semester introduction to basic organic chemistry. The relationship of structure and bonding in organic compounds to reactivity will be emphasized. Reactions will be discussed from mechanistic and synthetic perspectives. Three lectures weekly. Prerequisites: CHEM 152, completion of or concurrent registration in CHEM 301L.
The principles of inorganic chemistry, such as atomic and molecular structure, bonding, acid-base theory, and crystal field theory, are examined. Utilizing these principles, the chemistry of the elements of the periodic table is discussed, including the kinetics and mechanisms of reactions. The various fields within inorganic chemistry, including solid-state, coordination and organometallic chemistry are introduced. Three lectures weekly. Prerequisites: CHEM 302; completion of or concurrent registration in CHEM 311.
