45 lecture hours; 45 lab hours
Prerequisites: CHE 101 and CHE 102 recommended
Corequisites: CHE 213L
Lab fee
A formal study of carbon compounds is presented with emphasis placed on the correlation of structure and chemical reactivity. This course is the first of a two-semester sequence in organic chemistry normally taken by pre-medical, biotechnology, physician assistant, nursing, pre-pharmacy, biology, biochemistry or chemistry, pre-dental, and prechemical engineering majors. Topics normally treated during the first semester are a review of general chemistry, bonding, and Lewis structures. The first semester of Organic Chemistry starts with a review of fundamentals of General Chemistry leading to topics in Organic Chemistry such as alkane, alkene, alkynes and amines.
