| CHM 26100 - Organic Chemistry I |
|
Credit Hours: 3.00. A comprehensive study of the chemical principles underlying aliphatic and aromatic compounds. The syntheses and reactions of these materials are discussed. Modern theory and stereochemistry are stressed to illustrate the logic inherent in the subject matter and to demonstrate the predictability of many chemical transformations. Recommended for students majoring in chemical engineering. If not a chemical engineering major, see CHM 26505 Organic Chemistry.
3.000 Credit hours Syllabus Available Levels: Undergraduate, Graduate, Professional Schedule Types: Distance Learning, Lecture Offered By: College of Science Department: Chemistry Course Attributes: Lower Division May be offered at any of the following campuses: PU Fort Wayne West Lafayette Learning Outcomes: 1. Draw the structures (geometries and structures) of carbon-based molecules) using acceptable representations and identify common classes of organic compounds. 2. Draw and recognize resonance forms of a structure (resonance structures) and assess their importance. 3. Determine the name of organic compounds by using the IUPAC naming system. Predict the structure when given the name. Recognize its common name. 4. Recognize the 3-dimensional shapes of molecules, as determined by structural conformation and stereochemistry. 5. Use mass spectrometry and IR and NMR spectroscopy to determine the structures of organic molecules. 6. Describe chemical processes with energy diagrams and apply thermodynamics and kinetics toward understanding reactions and mechanisms. 7. Compare the differences between substitution (SN 1, SN2) and elimination (E1, E2) reactions. 8. Describe the important reactions of alkenes and alkynes and the mechanisms by which they occur. |
