This subject deals primarily with the basic principles to understand the structure and reactivity of organic molecules. The course also provides an introduction to the chemistry of aliphatic hydrocarbons (cyclic and acyclic), aromatics and their stereochemistry. Emphasis is on substitution, elimination and addition reactions and mechanisms. The course objectives are -
- To skill the students about Predicting the bond angles in a molecule, calculating bond orders.
- To enable the students to identify alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and will be able to prepare these.
- List some properties of hydrocarbons, use them for industrial application and hence these will enhance the students’ employability opportunities.
