Organic Chemistry 1 Notes

Organic Chemistry 1 covers Lewis structures, types of bonding, VSEPR Theory, molecular polarity, dipoles and electronegativity, intermolecular forces, solubility, condensed and bond-line structures and various molecular groups (i.e. arene, ketone), resonance forms, acid and base chemistry, chirality and chiral centers, enantiomers, constitutional isomers, stereospecific compounds, substitution and elimination reactions, leaving groups, nucleophilic compounds, halide classification, reaction rates and SN1 and SN2 reactions, alkene addition reactions, halogenation, bromination, regioselectivity, monochlorination, radicals, and molecular stability. It also contains a brief review of molecular and electron geometry and orbital hybridization from General Chemistry. This document contains lecture notes, practice examples, definitions and explanations of various topics in O-Chem.
