CHMY 221NL - Organic Chemistry I Credit(s): 5
Prerequisite(s): a grade of “C” or better in CHMY 143 . This is the first semester of a one-year sequence with emphasis on fundamental concepts of structure, nomenclature, properties and reaction mechanisms of organic compounds and an introduction to biochemical molecules. Laboratory included. (Fall Semester)
Course Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to - Deploy sufficient organic chemistry background to gain entrance into the second semester of organic chemistry course at any institution in the country.
- Recognize by formula and name organic compounds belonging to the major functional groups.
- Predict physical and chemical properties of the compounds belonging to the major organic functional groups.
- Utilize the fundamental spectroscopy tools in order to determine structures of unknown organic compounds.
- Deploy modern computational analysis software to solve organic chemistry related problems.
- Have a solid concept of organic reactivity, including knowledge of thermodynamics, kinetics, reaction profiles, and reaction mechanisms.
- Construct a scientifically accurate laboratory notebook that encompasses the entire semester, depicts laboratory work and critical/analytical analysis of the work.
- Communicate the deployment of the scientific method to elucidate the chemical structure of an unknown organic molecule.
- Design and deliver an oral presentation describing a body of scientific work that was performed in the lab.
