Descriptions

Prerequisites

Course contents (core content level)

Identification of organic compounds: nomenclature and different formulae. Isomerism. The hybridization of the orbitals of a carbon atom and the different types of bonds in organic compounds. The oxidation state of organic compounds, functional groups and their reactivity, especially towards water. The most important reaction types and mechanisms. The most common analytical techniques applied in organic chemistry.

Course contents (additional)
