DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY
The mission of the Chemistry Department is to produce creative and active scientists in all fields
The mission of the Chemistry Department is to produce and active scientists in all fields of Chemistry who can contribute to our society and nation by carrying out research that leads to advances in the basic science and modern technology.
Several sub-areas of chemistry are emphasized in the Department including physical, organic, inorganic, analytical, and biological chemistry, Education in these areas takes the form of lectures and laboratory courses. In addition, the five topics are covered in the general chemistry course taught at an introductory level.
Physical chemistry is of fundamental importance to all areas of chemistry and it serves as the foundation for understanding the conversion of energy, the quantum nature of molecules, and the kinetics and equilibrium involved in chemical reactions. Therefore physical chemistry is a required subject for all those who major in chemistry.
Organic chemistry serves as the foundation for understanding the molecules of nature. It is an essential prerequisite for learning the chemical basis of biology, semiconductors, electronic materials, polymers, pharmacy, and food sciences. Courses in this area cover the synthesis, reactivity. and structure of organic compounds
Inorganic chemistry, which focuses on the structure, properties, and reactions of inorganic compounds, is crucial for understanding solid-state physics and material sciences.
Analytical chemistry is of practical importance to the field of chemistry. This area deals with the basic principles for the analysis of chemicals in both a qualitative and quantitative manner. Various analytical methods that take advantage of advance instrumentation are covered in course taught in this area in order to establish a foundation for environmental, food, geological, and marine sciences
Biological chemistry is a science that concentrates on the molecular basis for biological systems. As a result, this subject deals with the structure, properties, and reactions of the biomolecules of life. Basic knowledge in this are is required to fully understand a variety of subjects including molecular biology, genetic engineering, and food sciences,
