Carbon can form covalent bonds with itself and other elements to create a mind-boggling array of structures. In organic chemistry, we will learn about the reactions chemists use to synthesize crazy carbon based structures, as well as the analytical methods to characterize them. Inorganic chemistry section deals with the synthesis and behavior of inorganic and organometallic compounds. We will also think about how those reactions are occurring on a molecular level with reaction mechanisms. Usually, organic chemistry is like building with molecular Legos. Includes how to name and draw organic compounds, and the use of curly arrows in reaction mechanisms. Includes help on bonding, naming and isomerism, and a discussion of organic acids and bases.
