Material Detail

Students will be introduced to the theories and principles of organic chemistry. Topics include the structure, properties, reactions, and stereochemistry of organicmolecules. Reaction mechanisms will be introduced.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Students will be able to explain bonding in organic compounds, relate hybridization to molecular shape and be able to represent organic molecules in the common formats employed in organic chemistry.2. Students will be able to identify and complete acid/base reactions and rank molecules in terms of acid or base strength.3. Students will be able to identify and distinguish enantiomers, diastereomers and meso compounds and employ key stereochemical concepts.4. Students will be able to synthesize, name, predict properties for and use the reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and alkyl halides. Students will also be able to evaluate and diagram mechanisms for these reactions employing curved arrow notation.
