Program
Semester Hours 4 Lab Hours 3 Lecture Hours 3
Description
A study of organic compounds. Nomenclature, bonding, structure, stereochemistry, and reaction mechanisms with emphasis on substitution and elimination reactions are presented. Alkanes, alkyl halides, alkenes, alcohols, and basics of spectroscopy are studied.
Course Learning Outcomes
  1. Demonstrate understanding of to explore natural phenomena, including observation, hypothesis development, measurement and data collection, experimentation, evaluation of evidence
  2. Define, describe and apply scientific data, concepts and models as they pertain to the structure, bonding, and properties of alkanes, alkyl halides, alcohols and alkenes
  3. Define, describe and apply scientific data, concepts and models as they pertain to the reactivity of alkenes
  4. Define, describe and apply scientific data, concepts and models as they pertain to the reactivity of alkyl halides
