COURSE CODE NAT SCI 2 No. OF UNITS 3 units

COURSE TITLE Organic Chemistry Total No. of Contact Hours/ week 3 hours/ 18 weeks
PRE-REQUISITE/S

Course Description : This course will familiarize you to the basics of organic chemistry, which deals with the properties, reactions, and applications
of carbon-containing compounds. This course includes the nomenclature, physical and chemical properties, reactivity, and stereochemistry of functional
groups, in order of increasing complexity, with discussion on basic reaction mechanisms. It also covers an introduction to the biological molecules and
basic metabolism. Course activities such as problem solving and laboratory experiments are designed to help develop analytical and critical thinking skills.
Emphasis is also given on the practical applications of organic chemistry in health and medicine. This course would also give a new appreciation of the role
of chemistry in both the human body and the larger world around us.
