  • Unit 1: Organic Chemistry - Mr. Lawson's Science Page

    This course provides a comprehensive study of hydrocarbons, the fundamental building blocks of organic chemistry. Students will explore the structure, nomenclature, physical properties, stereochemistry, and reactivity of:

    • Alkanes & Cycloalkanes (saturated hydrocarbons)

    • Alkenes (unsaturated hydrocarbons with C=C bonds)

    • Alkynes (unsaturated hydrocarbons with C≡C bonds)

    The course emphasizes molecular structure, conformational analysis, and reaction mechanisms, preparing students for advanced organic chemistry and practical applications in petrochemicals, polymers, and pharmaceuticals
