7. Course Objectives:

To introduce the students to the basic properties of the following groups of organic compounds: oxygen containing carbon compounds (alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, acid derivatives), nitrogen containing organic compounds (amines, amides, nitriles, nitro compounds, diazo compounds), heteroaromatic compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, organic sulfur compounds. The aim is to interpret the physical and chemical properties on the basis of the structure of functional groups.

8. Course Outline:

Topics Covered:

To present the groups of organic compounds by the following system: functional groups, nomenclature, examples, electron structure, physical and chemical properties.
