| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
This course is intended for Japanese and international students registered in natural science majors who are interested in learning chemistry in English. Basic Organic Chemistry I explains the fundamental concepts of organic chemistry, aiming to help students understand the structures and properties of organic compounds. This course can be taken alone or in combination with Basic Organic Chemistry II. |
|||
| Course Goals | Students will be able to analyze the structure of organic compounds and predicting their properties based on their bonding, atomic orbitals, hybridization state, intermolecular forces and resonance structures. | |||
