CH 222 - Organic Chemistry I2 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, biomedicall, academic and personal applications and uses of organic materials. (prereq: CH 200 or CH 200A or CH 200B )
Course Learning Outcomes
