CHEM 220 - Introduction to Organic Chemistry

Institution:

SUNY Morrisville (formerly Morrisville State College)

Subject:

Description:

This is a survey of organic chemistry utilizing functional group and mechanistic approaches. The course will review the basics of chemical bonding, thermodynamics, kinetics, and acid-base chemistry needed to understand the chemistry of organic molecules. The chemical and physical properties of the standard functional groups will be examined. Transformations of functional groups will be explored and the fundamentals of the spectroscopic identification of each functional group will be practiced. The three dimensional structure of molecules will be a point of major focus. Examples of the relevancy of organic chemistry to everyday activities will be stressed, and the relationship of organic molecules to the chemistry of life will be highlighted. Prerequisite: CHEM 122 and CHEM 122L or CHEM 142 and CHEM 142L. Suggested Co-requisite: CHEM 220L or CHEM 241L 3 credits (3 lecture hours) fall and spring semester These credits count towards the Math and/or Science (List B) requirements for graduation. CHEM 220L - Laboratory for Introduction to Organic Chemistry This is the laboratory component of Introduction to Organic Chemistry. The basic unit operations necessary for the practice of organic chemistry, such as melting point determination, index of refraction, density, crystallization, thin layer chromatography, column chromatography, gas-liquid chromatography, simple distillation, fractional distillation, extraction, and infrared spectroscopy will be practiced by the student. Students will then apply these operations to the isolation and preparation of a variety of organic functional groups. Prerequisite: CHEM 122 and CHEM 122L or CHEM 142 and CHEM 142L Co-requisite: CHEM 220 1 credit (3 laboratory hours) fall or spring semester These credits count towards the Math and/or Science (List B) requirements for graduation.
