220 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
(4 points) 24 lectures, 42 hours practical work.
This course builds on the elementary treatment of Chemistry 101 to present a basic, working coverage of commonly encountered organic systems, their reactivity, and the factors which affect It.
221 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
(5 points) 32 lectures, 42 hours practical work.
A course of basic organic chemistry similar to unit 220, augmented by a more extensive treatment of organic molecules of environmental and biological importance, and their role in biological reactions.

Molecular orbital theory applied to the diatomics of the first row of the periodic table. An introduction to ligand field theory and simple molecular.
theory of metal complexes. Electrode potentials and oxidation state dia- grams and applications. The application of various physical methods to the elucidation of molecular and electronic structure. Dipole moments, molecular weights, magnetic susceptibility measurements, infra-red spectroscopy, analytical applications of electronic and atomic absorption spectroscopy, stability constants by potentiometry and spectrophotometry.
241 COORDINATION CHEMISTRY AND NON-METAL CHEMISTRY I
(4 points) 24 lectures and 42 hours laboratory work.
Coordination Chemistry (16 lectures) The formation of coordination complexes as a general property of all metals in solution is discussed in terms of competitive equilibria, stability constants and factors deter- mining their magnitude. The coordination chemistry of the first row transi- tion elements is discussed under the following headings: the lability of complexes and implications for preparative chemistry; the stabilization of different oxidation states; the stereo-chemical configuration of com- plexes with different ligands; reactions of coordinated ligands; examples of substitution and oxidation-reduction reactions. The use of physical methods to elucidate structure and bonding will be discussed with appro- priate systems during the course.
