CHM 25500 - Organic Chemistry For The Life Sciences I


Credit Hours: 3.00.  A study of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and their simple derivatives in terms of (a) structure, bonding, etc.; (b) general syntheses and reactions; and (c) a logical modern rationale for fundamental phenomena as supported by reactivity orders, orientation effects, stereochemistry, and relative rates. Recommended for biology majors.
Learning Outcomes
1.  Gain understanding of the fundamental principles of organic chemistry and to apply those principles to solve problems.
2.  Observe the world on a molecular level and to understand how organic chemistry applies to biology and everyday life.
3.  Understand at a fundamental level how molecules look and behave.
4.  Relate the structure and reactivity of molecules to observable physical/chemical properties.
5.  Describe Life Processes in terms of molecular phenomena.
Credits: 3.00
