Synopsis

This unit is designed to introduce students to the realm of
organic chemistry.  It outlines the reactions and uses of
molecules containing one functional group such as alcohols,
aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, amines in both aliphatic and
aromatic compounds.   The three dimensional shape of molecules and
its applications are studied as is an introduction to IR and NMR
spectroscopies as analytical tools for structure determination.
The unit is supported by appropriate laboratory experimental work
where students develop safe manipulate skills.
