Upon successful completion of tutoring instruction, students will have an enhanced understanding of organic chemistry. Students will be able to do the following after tutoring instruction:

- Discuss bonding in organic molecules, including concepts of valence bond theory, hybridization, resonance, and molecular orbitals.

- Understand factors that contribute to the stability of organic molecules.

- Understand the correlation between physical properties of substances and intermolecular forces.

- Describe the structure and properties of select organic compounds and their reactions, including nucleophilic substitution, elimination, oxidation, reduction, radical, aromatic, etc…

- Use an understanding of reaction mechanisms to predict the outcome of chemical reactions.

- Apply IUPAC guidelines for naming organic molecules, including stereochemical distinctions.

- Identify common functional groups in organic chemistry and relate reactivity patterns with molecular structure/physical properties of organic compounds.

- Distinguish between energy of activation and transition state, stereochemistry, stereoselective, and stereospecific reactions.

- Explain and define the solvent effects on reactions.

- Identify unknown structures with the use of spectroscopy and spectrometric methods.
