Organic Chemistry For The Life Sciences I

Catalog description

A study of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and their simple derivatives in terms of (a) structure, bonding, etc.; (b) general syntheses and reactions; and (c) a logical modern rationale for fundamental phenomena as supported by reactivity orders, orientation effects, stereochemistry, and relative rates. Recommended for biology majors. Prerequisite(s): CHM 11600 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF C- Course Learning Outcomes 1. Gain understanding of the fundamental principles of organic chemistry and to apply those principles to solve problems. 2. Observe the world on a molecular level and to understand how organic chemistry applies to biology and everyday life. 3. Understand at a fundamental level how molecules look and behave. 4. Relate the structure and reactivity of molecules to observable physical/chemical properties. 5. Describe Life Processes in terms of molecular phenomena. View Class Schedule
