Justification for
course/change:
This course will be an elective for the Minor in Chemistry. As students receive a solid
background in inorganic and organic chemistry through the CHEM 1210/1220/2310/2320
Chemistry series (~70-80 students per year), this course is an appropriate ensuing course for
students wishing to learn more details about the chemistry behind the materials that they
encounter every day, from plastics to electronic devices.
