CHEM201 Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry
10 cp
Prerequisites CHEM100 Fundamentals of Chemistry
Teaching Organisation 6 hours per week for 12 weeks or equivalent.
This unit develops awareness of the importance of organic chemicals in the natural and built environment. Atomic structure and bonding are developed further and the structure, physical properties, uses and nomenclature of the major classes of organic compounds (including some pesticides, detergents and polymers) are studied. Stereoisomerism, reactivity, and the mechanisms of some significant chemical reactions are examined as well as the classification of hazardous chemicals and regulations for safe practice.
