This course examines the chemistry of the ubiquitous carbon atom. Molecules formed from carbon and other elements are investigated. Special emphasis will be placed on organic molecules commonly used in everyday life, such as alcohols. The course considers families of carbon compounds, functional groups, synthesis, structural investigation, reactivity, and the recycling of polymers and their impact on the environment.
Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
