Aims

This is an introductory module for Organic and Analytical Chemistry, covering basic sources, reactions and analytical approaches to identification and properties of molecules.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Organic nomenclature, petrochemicals, bonding in Organic Chemistry, shapes of molecules. Functional groups 1 / acidity/basicity; simple reactions - SN1, SN2. E1, E2. Polarity / ionisation, chromatography, IR/UV/Fluorescence spectroscopy. Extraction, pH, CHN analysis, spot testing and basic NMR.
Module Overview:
In this module you will be introduced to Organic and Analytical Chemistry and the way in which we can analyse organic chemicals and materials. You will cover basic sources, reactions, and analytical approaches to identification and properties of molecules. As an introductory level module, your work will be closely tied to laboratory practice and will link to the second semester modules in order to build experience and understanding.
Additional Information:This module gives an introduction to Organic Chemistry and the ways in which we can analyse organic chemicals and materials. As an introductory level module, the work will be closely tied to laboratory practice and will also link to the second semester organic-containing module in order to build experience and understanding.
