LAB SCHEDULE:

In UNIT 0, we cover the basics of laboratory safety and molecular modeling; both of these topics will be revised multiple times throughout the semester. In UNIT 1, we explore the connect between the structure of organic molecules and their physical & chemical properties. Next, we discuss how these structure-property relationships can be manipulated to separate and purify organic molecules. Molecular modeling in the form of computational chemistry is introduced as a tool to understand and rationalize 3-dimensional structure and reactivity.
