4 credit hrs/6 contact hrs
Prerequisite: CHM 123 - General Chemistry II with “C” or better (2.0 out of a 4.0 scale)
Chemistry of organic carbon compounds. Principles of bonding, nomenclature, mechanisms, and reactivity of hydrocarbons and functional groups including hydrocarbons, addition, substitution and elimination reactions, redox and chirality.

Student Learning Outcomes:

Identify functional groups and their properties in organic molecules.
Provide correct nomenclature and structures of organic compounds.
Illustrate bonding including constitutional isomers, stereoisomers, conformational analysis and structural effects on chemical properties.
Apply fundamental chemical principles to explain the chemical behavior and reactivity of organic compounds, including thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium and acid-base behavior.
Illustrate reactivity of organic compounds including substitution, addition, elimination, oxidation-reduction and combustion reactions.
Formulate a reasonable multi-step synthesis of small organic compounds.
Safely perform in the laboratory published procedures on chemical identity, chemical reactions, and isolating and purifying products.
Use chemical literature to write a proper laboratory report following established principles of scientific data.
