About

In this series, you will learn what is Organic Chemistry. We will cover the importance of carbon, understanding skeletal structures, and functional groups' nomenclature and properties.

Learners are recommended to have a basic understanding of acid/base theory, as well as of intermolecular forces, however, it is not required.

If you missed any session, it is highly recommended to take a look at the PowerPoint sent in the group of the series.
