Organic Chemistry is amazing, awesome, interesting, complicated and the stuff of life. Organic chemistry is usually taught as an entire second year college course. We will focus on basic molecular structure, nomenclature and reaction mechanisms. We will make soap, flavors and odors, slime, super balls and other polymers. We will do a short periodic trends and bonding review first, and then go into the actual IB SL Organic content.
Study Chapter 10 in Chemistry: Course Companion. Use Central Chemistry Chapter 25 as a reference as necessary. Watch the Thornley videos for review but use the Khan channel videos for a more in-depth lesson on each topic. INITIAL FEEDBACK FORM
