Organic Chemistry is the branch of chemistry that focuses on the study of carbon-containing compounds and their structures, properties, composition, reactions, and synthesis. This course introduces students to the fundamental principles governing organic molecules, including bonding, molecular geometry, and functional groups.
Key topics include classification and nomenclature of organic compounds, reaction mechanisms, stereochemistry, hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, and amines. Students learn how to predict chemical behavior, write reaction equations, and understand the relationship between molecular structure and reactivity.
Laboratory sessions reinforce theoretical knowledge through hands-on experiments involving purification, identification, and synthesis of organic compounds. By the end of the course, learners gain a solid foundation for advanced studies in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and environmental science.
