 Objectives:  To study the structure, nomenclature, synthesis, and reactions of the general classes of organic

compounds; alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic compounds.

 

 

 

 

Student Learning Outcomes:

  The course will present structure, nomenclature, and reactions of: Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic compounds.

        I.  With respect to the various compound types above, the students will be able to:

                    a.   draw molecules in  three dimensions

                    b.    name molecules using both common and IUPAC systems

                    c.   understand and be able to apply the reactions of the various compound types

                    d.   understand and be able to apply the synthesis of the various compound types

            These aspects will be evaluated by in class examinations and building and manipulating computer models.

 

      II.  Development of critical thinking skills will be demonstrated by applying the aspects in outcome I,  by analyzing and solving chemical "road map" problems, chemical logic problems, on the examinations.
