CHE 200 - Organic Chemistry I
An integrated study of carbon compounds with emphasis on structure stereochemistry, reactions and synthesis. Laboratory work will emphasize record keeping, separation, purification and identification using chromatography.
Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:
- Describe the chemical bonding in organic compounds.
- Analyze the thermodynamic and kinetic relationship in organic reactions.
- Describe the physical properties, stereochemistry, preparation, reactions and multistep synthesis of hydrocarbons.
- Demonstrate laboratory procedures for record keeping, separation, purification and identification using chromatography.
Prerequisite: General Chemistry II (CHE 111).
4 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory each week 5 credits
