Introductory Chemistry notes

Class notes on molecular, complete ionic, and net ionic reactions; acids and bases reactions; oxidation-reduction reactions; combination synthesis, decomposition, combustion, single/double displacement reactions. With a detailed breakdown on how to approach each concept.

Class notes on organic chemistry, introducing hydrocarbons, their complete and condensed structure, organic structure, nomenclature (prefixes and suffixes), steps to naming hydrocarbons using the IUPAC system, naming halides, isomers, functional groups, polymerization. A summary of organic chemistry functional groups is included in the notes (class of compound, functional group, general formula, naming suffix, example) along with practice problems for identifying functional groups and drawing or...
