S15491: Introduction to Organic Chemistry in HSSP Spring 2023 (Feb. 25, 2023)
Do you want to learn how reactions in our body work or how medicine is made? Bored of what you are learning in your current high school chemistry class? Then take this class to challenge yourself and have a better understanding of how electron movement and fundamental chemistry concepts explain the mechanism behind certain reactions. In order to understand material in this class, students are expected to brush up on their chemistry background, which includes acids/bases, resonance structures, electronegativity, etc.


S15128: Crystal Field Theory: Why Copper Solutions are Blue in Splash 2022 (Nov. 19 - 20, 2022)
Have you ever wondered why what makes certain transition metal solutions have distinct colors, from copper's vivid blue color to nickel's green hue? The theory that addresses this phenomenon is crystal field theory. This rigorous class will go over the chemistry concepts behind crystal field theory and discuss interesting properties/applications of some coordination complexes.
