Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Work safely in a laboratory environment while observing and accurately recording measurements related to chemical phenomena. Apply organic chemical principles and theories as they relate to alkyl halides, alkenes, and alkynes. Determine the chemical reaction type (substitution, elimination, addition, and radical), illustrate its mechanisms, and determine the products. Analyze Infrared (IR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and Mass Spectroscopy data as they relate to chemical structure.
