infoWhy this? A shared language of formulae, nomenclature, functional groups, and isomerism allows us to organise the diversity of carbon compounds. Introducing reaction mechanisms connects molecular structure and electron movement to chemical change.

scheduleWhy now? After bonding, we can apply our understanding of covalent structure, polarity, and molecular shape to organic molecules. Establishing these representations and conventions before studying individual homologous series provides tools that recur throughout organic chemistry.
