This course studies the chemistry of hydrocarbons and their derivatives. Topics include: nomenclature, conformations, reactions, mechanisms, and physical properties. Other topics investigated are stereochemistry, substitution and elimination reactions and mechanisms. Spectroscopy including infrared, mass spec, nmr and UV-vis will be studied. Laboratory includes classical techniques of separation and identification of organic compounds as well as modern techniques of analysis.
Learning Outcomes :
- Use the vocabulary of chemistry, both language and mathematical, to explain concepts.
- Explain the structure and reactions of organic molecules base on modern bonding theories.
- Analyze composition and structure of organic molecules with the aid of instrumental analysis.
- Communicate the concepts and results of experiments through effective writing and oral communication skills.
- Utilize safe and course-appropriate laboratory techniques.
