Describes three levels of courses to treat adequately the ground state electronic structures, the spectroscopy, and the photochemistry of inorganic molecules. Suggests sequences for the courses without repeating material taught in previous courses. (Author/JN)

Suggests examining a few subjects in depth rather than covering a whole range of topics superficially. Also discusses how much theory is appropriate in the undergraduate curriculum. (Author/JN)

Summarizes the views of panel members at a symposium on the place of inorganic chemistry in the undergraduate curriculum. Suggests one semester of intermediate inorganic chemistry, followed by a year of physical chemistry and a semester of advanced inorganic chemistry as a reasonable prescription for the modern undergraduate curriculum. (Author/JN)

Presents the selection rules for all four quantum numbers of the hydrogen atom and for a linear harmonic oscillator. Suggests that these rules deserve special mention in an elementary course of quantum chemistry. (Author/JN)

Indicates that at least 50 percent carbon monoxide is produced during the dehydration of sugar by sulfuric acid to a hot, black, expanded solid. Consequently, students should not be allowed to smell this product. Also lists six other findings related to this reaction. (Author/JN)

Discusses eight misconceptions concerning Einstein's work and views, as part of a presentation at the Einstein Symposium held at the 178th National American Chemical Society Meetings in Washington, D.C., in September, 1979. (CS)

Presents a procedure for teaching the Law of Constant Heat Summation or Hess's Law. Simplified rules are given and expanded. Examples of each rule are provided. (CS)

Presents the history, curricula, and faculty accomplishments of Notre Dame's chemical engineering program from its inception in 1909 to the present. (WB)

Summarizes the state of the art and speculates about future trends in chemical process control research and education in the United States. Most chemical engineering departments will continue to offer only basic courses, while the industry is likely to go its own way. (WB)

Summarizes papers presented at the Sixth Biennial Conference on Chemical Education in the area of high school chemistry, particularly dealing with the high school/college interface. A bibliography of 16 presented papers on this topic is attached. (CS)

Summarizes papers presented at the Sixth Biennial Conference on Chemical Education that report new offerings in chemistry. A bibliography of 13 presented papers in this area is attached. (CS)

Presents an undergraduate biochemistry laboratory experiment in which glycohemoglobin, a derivative of hemoglobin, is determined. (CS)

Described is an environmental chemistry course for nonscience majors at McNeese State University. The course emphasizes consumer chemistry. Topics discussed include prescription drugs, refinery processes, nuclear chemistry and chemistry and the environment. Texts, supplementary materials and a detailed course outline are included. (DS)

Presents an historical review of the role of petroleum in world history and information on the chemistry of petroleum. It is suggested that petroleum chemistry be discussed since within the next two decades oil and gas will provide the major portion of U.S. energy. (Author/SA)

Presents two demonstrations for classroom use related to precipitation of ferrous hydroxide and to variation of vapor pressure with temperature. The former demonstration is simple and useful when discussing solubility of ionic compounds electrode potential of transition elements, and mixed valence compounds. (Author/SA)
