CHM1022 Comprehensive HD Lecture/Exam Notes

Description

While highly comprehensive, these notes have been carefully written to include only the content directly examined in the CHM1022 end-of-semester exam. The notes go over ALL the lecture topics, including: 1) Introduction to Organic Chemistry 2) Stereochemistry 3) Chiral Centres, R & S System 4) Chemical Reactivity 5) Mass Spectrometry and Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) 6) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) 7) Amino Acid Chemistry 8) Polypeptides and Proteins 9) Carbohydrate Chemistry 10) Nucleic Acids Chemistry 11) Synthetic Polymers 12) Polymers and Green Chemistry 13) Inorganic Chemistry 14) Coordination Compounds and Complexes 15) Ligands and Complexes 16) Bridging Ligands, Ligand Behaviour and Equilibria 17) Isomerism of Complexes 18) Orbitals and Crystal Field Theory 19) Colour and Magnetism 20) Biological Inorganic Chemistry Diagrams and figures are included to simplify and reinforce the key content. Also included are some worked examples and workshop questions and answers. Look out for sub-headings titled 'important notes', which simplify much of the complex content likely to be examined. While this unit is very content-heavy, these notes will hopefully help to minimise any confusion and consolidate your knowledge. Each lecture topic is indicated through a title in large blue bold font, with sub-headings in smaller bold black font. These notes allowed me to achieve a HD and using them, you can too :)
