Organic Chemistry is an area of Chemistry that stands on its own. There are so many key definitions and reactions to learning that it can feel overwhelming. The non-linear approach to the questions can cause panic. It is important to become competent in Organic Chemistry because it is a fundamental and large part of any Chemistry course. As chemistry exams go, a whole paper in the final exam may be devoted to Organic Chemistry. In this introductory course, I offer an explicit elucidation of key definitions that Organic chemists use as a matter of course for the beginner in Advanced Chemistry. The assessment questions at the end of each section offer plenty of practice in applying the concepts. Feedback is immediate and individualized, with access to exclusive online tutorials to explain how to do the question where it has been problematic.
What will you learn in this course?
To understand the different types of formulae by which organic molecules are represented.
