SUPPLIES:
Closed-Toe Shoes on lab days. If you do not have closed-toe shoes on lab day you will
receive a zero for that activity!
*Extra credit will be given on the lab safety quiz for a box of facial tissues, one ream of
printer paper or a double roll of paper towels.
GRADING:
Student grades will be determined by the following method:
40% Test and/or Projects
20% Quizzes
20% Homework
20% Labs
LATE WORK:
Assigned work must be turned in by the due date. Any late assignments may be turned in
by 8:30 am the following school day, and will suffer a 30% penalty.
TUTORIALS:
All tutorials will be held during the SSEP period from 8:30 until 9:00 daily. The SSEP
pass must be obtained before school, after class or during lunch for the next SSEP period.
Tutorials are also available during lunch or before school. Please make an appointment
for before school or lunch tutorials.
TARDINESS:
The student must be in their seat when the bell rings or they will be considered tardy. If
the student arrives to the classroom after the bell has rung, the student must sign the Tardy
Sheet on the table by the door. On the fourth tardy they will be assigned Lunch Detention
in my room for the following day. After the fifth tardy the student will be referred to the
Administration.
ATTENDANCE:
If the student is absent it is their responsibility to gather the assignments that they have
missed on the day of their return. If they missed an exam or lab, they must schedule a
make-up exam. Please keep in mind that the format of the make-up is at the teacher’s
discretion. The student must complete and turn in the make-up work in a timely manner,
usually the number of days missed plus one.
CLASS RULES:
I expect my students to abide by four very simple rules in my classroom:
Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this class, students will be able to predict
bonding and three-dimensional structure, including chirality of organic compounds.
Students will be able to predict the reactivity of specific functional groups, and construct
efficient, simple mechanistic pathways for the synthesis of a given compound.
Course Outline:
1. Structure and Bonding
Review of general chemistry, atoms, bonds, and molecular geometry
2. Polar Covalent Bonds, Acids and Bases
Electronegativity, formal charge, resonance structures, definitions and strengths of
acids and bases, calculating Ka, organic acids and bases
3. Alkanes and Stereochemistry
functional groups, isomers, alkyl groups, IUPAC naming rules, common names,
properties of alkanes, conformations and Newman projections, fuels and
petroleum refining
4. Cycloalkanes and Their Stereochemistry
Naming, cis-trans isomerism, stability, ring strain, polycyclic molecules
5. Stereochemistry at Tetrahedral Centers
Chirality, optical activity, rules for specifying R and S configurations, diastereomers
