Episode 2 — Matter & Materials - Organic Reactions

Basic Organic Chemistry

Learners will be able to:

• Identify the main homologous series of organic compounds. • Describe the characteristics of saturated and unsaturated compounds. • Explain why unsaturated compounds undergo reactions more easily than saturated compounds. • Name haloalkanes by identifying the halogen atom in the compound. • Apply the IUPAC nomenclature rules to name esters, including identifying the alkyl group and the carboxyl group.
