CHEM224 - 01 - Organic Chemistry I

Covers fundamental concepts of atomic structure, hybridization, molecular orbitals, and structure of organic molecules. Surveys functional groups, classes of organic compounds, and their reactions. Provides in-depth mechanistic study of those reactions, involving energies, stereochemistry, equilibrium, and reaction rate theory. Three hours of lecture, two discussion periods, and a four-hour laboratory per week. The grade from this laboratory component is factored into the grade earned for the required CHEM 224 corequisite
