In this lesson our instructor talks about structures and properties of organic molecules. First, she talks about orbitals, bonding, molecular orbitals, overlapping E levels of molecular orbitals, and electron transitions. Then she talks about hybrid orbitals, 3-D sketches of molecules, hybridization, resonance, and physical properties. She goes on to talk about dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding, Van Der Waals/London forces, water solubility and isomerism. She ends the lecture with an introduction to functional groups.
Lecture Slides are screen-captured images of important points in the lecture. Students can download and print out these lecture slide images to do practice problems as well as take notes while watching the lecture.
This is the actual book that Dr. Laurie Starkey teaches out of as a professor, and manages to be both clear and yet precise. The book presents a logical, systematic approach to understanding the principles of organic reactivity and the mechanisms of organic reactions.
This book includes all of the concepts typically covered in an organic chemistry textbook, but special emphasis is placed on skills development to support these concepts. This emphasis upon skills development will provide students with a greater opportunity to develop proficiency in the key skills necessary to succeed in organic chemistry.
