About this Course
Course Description
This subject will provide the student with a basic understanding to organic chemistry and its relationship to environmental health. Topics covered include nomenclature, structures, uses and reactions of saturated hydrocarbons, unsaturated hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, alkyl halides, hydroxyl compounds, carboxylic acids, carbonyl compounds, and amines. Basic knowledge on organic reactions will be introduced. A relationship from the organic chemistry topics to the formation of photochemical smog, acid rain, toxic organic chemicals - chlorinated organic compounds, PCBs, dioxin, and furans will also be explored.
Course Learning Outcomes
1 ) Solve problems effectively by applying basic skill for the multi-step synthesis of organic compound, mechanism for a chemical reaction and reactivity of organic compound based on its structure.
2 ) Explain fundamental principal of organic chemistry that include nomenclature, structural isomerism, chemical reaction.
