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.
