Course description
Organic chemistry is the basics of life science. Originally, organic chemistry began with chemical nature of substances, but now it is extremely important in the field of agricultural and pharmaceutical sciences. At the Department of Applied Bioscience, you can study the basics of organic chemistry over a year and a half. In the course of "Organic Chemistry I", you will learn the nature and chemical reactions of alkanes, alkenes and alkynes.
Expected Learning
Students who take this course are expected to understand the principals in organic chemistry including the following points:

1) Structures of molecules: atoms, molecular orbits, hybrid orbits and covalent bonds.
2) Influence of the electronegativity on covalent bonds.
3) Chemical reaction and electron transfer.
4) Basic rules on organic compounds: nomenclature of organic compounds and name of functional groups.
5) Three-dimensional structure of organic compounds.
6) Transition state and reaction energy.

Viewpoint of diploma policy in this subject:
You will learn a wide range of knowledge and culture that will serve as the foundation for addressing applied biological sciences and related domain issues, and acquire flexible thinking skills.
In order to elucidate the biological phenomena and interactions among living organisms and their coexistence patterns, and to contribute to the sustainable development of humanity, the systematics of specialized fields from the basics to the leading edge of applied biological sciences and related sciences learn.
