![]() ![]() We will be reviewing naming oxygen and sulfur containing compounds. We will learn about the reaction mechanisms, and how nucleophilicity and electrophilicity can be used to choose between different reaction pathways.Īlkenes and alkynes- Alkenes and alkynes can be transformed into almost any other functional group you can name! We will review their nomenclature, and also learn about the vast possibility of reactions using alkenes and alkynes as starting materials.Īlcohols, ethers, epoxides, sulfides- Alcohol and thiol groups are important functional groups for applications ranging from enzyme reactions to making flexible contact lenses. Substitution and elimination reactions- Sn1, Sn2, E1, and E2 reactions form the basis for understanding why certain products are more likely to form than others. We will go over what makes a molecule chiral, stereoisomers, assigning configurations using the R,S system, optical activity and Fischer projections. Stereochemistry- Just like how your left foot doesn't quite fit your right shoe, molecules also can have properties that depend on their handedness! This property is called chirality. ![]() We'll be learning about different aspects of molecular structure, including common functional groups and conformations. ![]() We will also go over the principles of acid-base chemistry.Īlkanes, cycloalkanes, and functional groups- The properties of organic molecules depend on the structure, and knowing the names of organic compounds allow us to communicate with other chemists. Resonance and acid-base chemistry- Let's review how to keep track of electrons using formal charges, oxidation states, oxidation-reduction reactions, and resonance structures. ![]() We will also discuss how bonding and intermolecular forces relate to physical properties such as boiling point. Structure and bonding- Let's review the basics of chemical bonds including dot structures, hybridization, bond-line structures, electronegativity, and polarity. ![]()
