CH 220 - Survey of Organic Chemistry (CBL-R)

This is a Community-Based Learning - Required (CBL-R)  course.

Prerequisite/Corequisite
Prerequisite: CH 131 or permission of instructor.

Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to do the following:

• Interpret and communicate chemical information by becoming proficient in nomenclature, functional group classifications, line-bond representation of organic molecules, and instrumental analyses such as IR (Infrared) spectroscopy.
• Investigate and describe properties of organic functional groups and molecular structures using fundamental principles of bonding, stereochemistry, and conformational analysis.
• Examine, predict, and explain reactivity patterns of organic functional groups by applying (1) electron arrow-pushing mechanisms, (2) orbital interactions, and (3) principles of chemical thermodynamics and kinetics.
• Use organic chemistry techniques such as chromatography and liquid-liquid extraction to isolate and analyze small organic molecules.
• Research, apply, and explain organic chemistry concepts using written, oral, and visual formats.
