Course description and aims
This course covers fundamentals of organic chemistry such as chemical bonding and structures, and typical organic reactions. Basic topics include formation and nature of bonding, hybrid orbitals, isomers, and acid-base theory. To understand organic reactions, types and features of substitution reactions, elimination reactions, and addition reactions are discussed.
As one of the science and engineering basic courses required by all Tokyo Tech students, this course provides essential contents of organic chemistry in chemistry field. Students will acquire general knowledge, methods and way of thinking on chemistry.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain basic concepts of bonding, structures, and properties of organic compounds.
2) Explain and draw structure, reaction, and resonance formulas of organic compounds.
3) Explain types and features of basic organic reactions.
Keywords
organic compound, bond, structure, acid-base, organic reaction
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Basically, each class covers one chapter in the textbook according to the course schedule. Each class consists of outline of basic topics, explanation of exercise problems, and introduction of related topics. Students are required to learn outside of the classroom for preparation and review purposes under the instructor's guidance.
