Organic Chemistry I/II
Lecture and lab courses starts building on the understanding of the atomic structure and bonding properties studied in general chemistry as applied to organic compounds. Using the reaction mechanism approach, electron transfer and the relationship between molecular structure and reactivity are explored. First semester focuses on the recognition and study of functional groups and the study of nomenclature. In the 2nd semester, there is a cursory examination of instrumental techniques, such as NMR and FTIR.
