Course Syllabus - : Chem 1

This course covers basic concepts of inorganic and organic chemistry over 18 weeks. Students will learn about atomic structure, chemical bonding, intermolecular forces, acids and bases, and the structures, properties, and reactions of major organic compound classes including alkanes, alkenes, aromatics, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, amines and alkaloids. The goal is for students to apply organic chemistry knowledge to real situations and understand connections between chemistry, health, and disease treatment. Students will be evaluated through lectures, labs, quizzes and exams.

COURSE SYLLABUS – CHEM 1

Course Title: Inorganic and Organic Chemistry

Course Description:
This course deals with the study of the basic concepts of inorganic chemistry
necessary for understanding the important concept sin organic chemistry. The course
covers basic concepts of organic compounds – their structures, properties, reactions,
synthesis, and their practical applications.

Course Outcome:
The student must be able to apply basic knowledge of organic chemistry to
actual situations. The student must recognize the significant connection between
chemistry, health, environment, and the treatment of diseases.
