CH 222 - Organic Chemistry I

2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
The major concepts and themes of organic chemistry are introduced in this course. Theory and laboratory work on the principles of organic chemistry, properties and interrelationships of important classes of organic compounds. The roles of such compounds in the metabolic processes are explained. Students are introduced to basic mechanisms of organic reactions and alerted to the industrial, biomedical, academic and personal applications and uses of organic materials. (prereq: CH 200  or CH 200A  or CH 200B )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Relate chemical bonding to molecular shape
  • Identify and name types of aliphatic hydrocarbons and have a knowledge of their properties, reactions, preparation and commercial applications
  • Identify and name types of aromatic hydrocarbons and have a knowledge of their properties, reactions, preparation and commercial applications
  • Classify organic compounds by their functional groups and have knowledge of their reactivities, and commercial applications
  • Understand the interrelationship of organic reactions with those of the human body and the metabolic processes essential to body function
