Chemistry (CHEM)

General Course Information

Course Classification

Courses numbered 1-49 — are baccalaureate level (transfer) courses. Courses thus numbered are transferable to four- year institutions. Agriculture courses are designed to parallel the work taught in similar courses at California Polytechnic State University or at California State University, Fresno but may not carry the same number.

Courses numbered 50-99 — are associate degree level courses. Courses thus numbered are primarily for the student who does not plan to continue his/her education beyond the community college level; however, occupational education courses may transfer according to articulation agreements. Complete information on articulation is available through the Counseling Center.

Courses Numbered 100-201 — are non-transfer and are non-degree applicable; they are skill building or remedial.

Abbreviations for Degree, Non-Degree, and Transfer Courses

The following abbreviations designate degree applicable, transfer, and non-degree applicable courses:
(AA) Associate Degree
(CSU) Transferable to California State University System
(UC) Transferable to University of California System
(NDA) Non-Degree Applicable

CHEM-012B
Organic Chemistry for Science
Credit(s) 3

Organic Chemistry for Science Majors II
CHEM 012B is the second semester of a one-year course in organic chemistry intended for majors in the natural sciences (chemistry, biochemistry, biology, physics, and pre-medicine). A study of all aspects of fundamental organic chemistry, including nomenclature, chemical and physical properties, reactions and syntheses of the major classes of organic compounds. The study includes theoretical aspects, reaction mechanisms, multistep syntheses, and the chemistry of polycyclic and heterocyclic compounds. This course is more extensive and intensive than CHEM 002B and includes a greater emphasis on reaction mechanisms and multistep syntheses.( is just the lecture only course. The lab component is CHEM 012BL.)

Class Hours:: 54 Lecture
Prerequisite(s):: CHEM 001A and CHEM 012A
Advisory(s):: CHEM 001B
Transfers to:: UC/CSU
C-ID:: CHEM 160 S

CHEM-012BL
Organic Chemistry Lab for Scie
Credit(s) 1

Organic Chemistry Lab for Science Majors II
CHEM 012BL is the second semester of a one-year lab course in organic chemistry intended for majors in the natural sciences (chemistry, biochemistry, biology, physics, and pre-medicine). A study of all aspects of fundamental organic chemistry including nomenclature, chemical and physical properties, reactions and syntheses of the major classes of organic compounds will be cover by the two-course sequence. The course sequence includes advance topics of organic chemistry such as theoretical aspects, reaction mechanisms, multistep syntheses, and the chemistry of polycyclic and heterocyclic compounds. This course is more extensive and intensive than CHEM 002B and includes a greater emphasis on reaction mechanisms and multistep syntheses.

Class Hours:: 72 Laboratory
