CHEM 220 - Introductory Organic Chemistry Credits: 4 Semesters Offered: Fall, Summer Campus/Sites Offered: Charleston Offering Note: No additional information available.
Description Introduction to the properties of organic functional groups and to elementary laboratory techniques.
Student Learning Outcomes
-
Interpret IUPAC names of organic compounds to draw correct structures from names and differentiate between isomers (structural, geometric, or stereoisomers).
-
Recognize different bonding concepts including resonance and formal charges and use these concepts to predict structure and reactivity of simple organic compounds.
-
Identify an organic transformation as a substitution, addition, elimination, oxidation-reduction, or acid-base reaction.
-
Predict products, reagents, or starting materials in simple organic reactions applied to hydrocarbons, alkyl halides, oxygen-containing and nitrogen-containing functional groups.
-
Draw and/or complete arrow-pushing mechanisms for reactions of simple to moderate complexity.
-
Apply organic structural and reactivity concepts to molecules of biological importance and complexity.
-
Practice basic laboratory techniques used for the preparation, purification, separation, and identification of organic compounds such as recrystallization, distillation, extraction, chromatography, melting point determination, and spectroscopy.
