Complete Organic Chemistry IGCSE Class 10
Basics of organic chemistry
Description
Class 10 organic chemistry IGCSE is an introductory course that covers the basics of organic chemistry. Students will learn about the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds, which are compounds that contain carbon atoms. The course will cover topics such as:
The structure of organic compounds, including hydrocarbons and functional groups
The naming and formulae of organic compounds
The properties and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic compounds
The isomerism of organic compounds
The properties and reactions of alcohols, carboxylic acids, esters, and other organic compounds
The mechanism of organic reactions, including substitution, addition, and elimination reactions
Throughout the course, students will learn how to write chemical equations, predict products of chemical reactions, and interpret spectroscopic data. They will also develop critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities through various exercises and assignments.
By the end of the course, students will have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of organic chemistry, which will prepare them for more advanced courses in chemistry and related fields.
