Learning outcomes
The course involves the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of chemical compounds consisting of primarily carbon and hydrogen, which may contain any number of other elements, including nitrogen, oxygen, halogens as well as phosphorus, silicon and sulfur. Organic compounds are sorted into organic families defined by functional groups which are small structural units within molecules at which most of the compound's chemical reactions occur.
