ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Final oral examination
At the end the student will be able to recognize and identify the main organic functional groups, and will be able to predict their chemical-physical properties as well as their reactivity. She/he will have learned the mechanisms through which the main classes of organic reactions take place and will be able to describe them by utilizing the current symbology.
Basic principles of organic chemistry, a science that examines the compounds that comprise most living mass. Following an introduction to covalent bonding and isomerism, you move into a detailed discussion of the molecular structures and properties of various classes of organic and other biologically important compounds. Concepts and models are developed to build intuition about the stability and reactivity of organic compounds. These concepts will prepare students for a mechanistic-based approach to learning organic reactivity. Emphasis will also be placed on developing problem-solving skills unique to organic chemistry
