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 compound structure, acid/base conjugate pairs, alkanes, alkyl halides, and alcohols. Determine the chemical reaction type (neutralization, addition, substitution and elimination), illustrate its mechanisms, and determine the products.
