Series Details
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.
If you missed any session, it is highly recommended to take a look at the PowerPoint sent in the group of the series.
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance is highly recommended, as each session builds from the previous session. You risk getting removed from the series if you reach two unexcused absences.
