Course Description

The following subjects will be studied in the course.
(1) Focusing on alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and dienes. Naming convention based on the IUPAC nomenclature system, structural formulation and physiological/chemical properties of these compounds will be studied as well as typical reactions.
(2) Stereochemistry of alkanes and alkenes: Focusing on structural, geometrical and asymmetric isomerizations. Naming convention based on the IUPAC nomenclature system structural, formulation and optical properties of these compounds will be studied.

Course Objectives

The course objectives are to understand basic chemistry which will be required to pursue other chemistry-related courses. It also leads students to have interest in chemical characteristics, reaction properties and chemical synthesis methodology of organic compounds.

Grading Policy

Reports and occasional test (20%) results are considered with final examination results (80%).
