A study of the chemical properties and reactions of carbon and its derivatives. Topics include bonding, nomenclature, stereo chemistry, substitution, elimination and free radical reactions, organometallic compounds, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and the chemistry of alkyl halides, alcohols, epoxides, glycols, alkenes and alkynes.
Credit Hours: 3
Prerequisites
CHE 154 and
CHE 155L (both with a grade of "C" or better). Pre- or corequisite:
CHE 233L (with a grade of "C" or better).
Experiments focus on organic techniques used in the purification of liquids and solids and in structural elucidation. Emphasis is on the acquisition of basic organic laboratory skills, including communication of the results of scientific work. Over the course of the academic term, between nine and twelve experiments are conducted and students are required to keep a detailed laboratory notebook and submit discipline-specific formal laboratory reports on selected experiments. To effectively emulate the experience of professional science communication, training in report writing as well as peer review and iterative revision are incorporated in the report assignments.
