A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Classification of organic compounds

Classification of organic compounds is the foundation for understanding structure–property relationships and reaction mechanisms. Students must master the major families (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, ethers, ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, esters, amides, amines, and halides) and the criteria that define each group.
