Course Description: The study of the nomenclature, bonding, preparations and reactions of compounds of carbon, including aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, haloalkanes, alcohols, and ethers.
Outline: The outline of Organic Chemistry 3013 will be the following.There will be 6 exams with lowest exam being dropped. Each exam will account for 100 points each totaling 500 points. There will be 5 quizzes for 5 points each. Each exam will examine your knowledge of important points that will be found on the upcoming exam.
