A brief introduction to organic chemistry
Carbon can form covalent bonds with itself and other elements to create a mind-boggling array of structures. In organic chemistry, we will learn about the reactions chemists use to synthesize crazy carbon based structures, as well as the analytical methods to characterize them. We will also think about how those reactions are occurring on a molecular level with reaction mechanisms. Simply put, organic chemistry is like building with molecular Legos. Let's make some beautiful organic molecules!

Ma.t.che.s. is a project funded by the European Commission in line of the ERASMUS+ program. His main aim is to raise the atractivity of chemistry lessons in school.
On the website of Ma.t.che.s. you will find resources teachers could use for their chemistry lessons:
1. A compendium of action you could do with students. All dealing with chemistry but meant to change students attitude toward chemistry into something positiv.
2. Friendly designed worksheets in German, Turkish, Greek, Polish and Spanish language.
3. Material for different games all dealing with chemistry. All developed for chemistry lessons or a stand-in class.

There is also material about a survey the five Schools in the project did. It's about student's attitude toward chemistry.

The Webpage is in English. The material is in six languages: Greek, Polish, Spain, Turkish and German.

This course covers the basic concepts of chemistry leading to an understanding of atomic structure of the elements and periodic table. The study of chemical bonding, nomenclature, chemical equations, formula calculations and stoichiometry is undertaken.

Patterns Chemistry is an instructional resource for a year-long high school introductory chemistry course. It meets many of the physical science standards from the Next Generation Science Standards, as well as some earth science standards.

The Patterns High School Science Sequence (https://hsscience4all.org/) is a three year course pathway and curriculum aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

Each course utilizes:
- Common instructional strategies
- Real world phenomena
- Design challenges to engage students and support their learning.

The focus of this textbook is to introduce students to the foundations of General Chemistry and prepare students to be successful in the CH221-222-223 majors level chemistry series. The first part of the textbook focuses on the basic fundamentals of measurements in chemistry, the scientific method, an introduction into atoms, elements and trends of the periodic table. The second part of the textbook focuses on ionic and covalent compounds and their nomenclature, an introduction to chemistry reactions, stoichiometry, and solutions chemistry.

General chemistry courses often taught at the high school and introductory university level and are intended to serve as a broad introduction to a variety of concepts in chemistry. This is a collection of textbooks and textmaps designed to address General chemistry course formulated with different organizations and levels. Individual CC licenses are applied to each resource.

This course introduces experimental chemistry for students who are not majoring in chemistry. The course covers principles and applications of chemical laboratory techniques, including preparation and analysis of chemical materials, measurement of pH, gas and liquid chromatography, visible-ultraviolet spectrophotometry, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, polarimetry, X-ray diffraction, kinetics, data analysis, and organic synthesis.

CHEM221 General Chemistry I

The first course in the general chemistry sequence for science, engineering and health pre-professional students. Topics include: measurement, atomic structure, molecular structure, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, and thermochemistry. This course includes a laboratory component.

Students learn how common pop culture references (Harry Potter books) can relate to chemistry. While making and demonstrating their own low-intensity sparklers (muggle-versions of magic wands), students learn and come to appreciate the chemistry involved (reaction rates, Gibb's free energy, process chemistry and metallurgy). The fun part is that all wands are personalized and depend on how well students conduct the lab. Students end the activity with a class duel a face-off between wands of two different chemical compositions. This lab serves as a fun, engaging review for stoichiometry, thermodynamics, redox and kinetics, as well as advanced placement course review.

This seminar is designed to be an experimental and hands-on approach to applied chemistry (as seen in cooking). Cooking may be the oldest and most widespread application of chemistry and recipes may be the oldest practical result of chemical research. We shall do some cooking experiments to illustrate some chemical principles, including extraction, denaturation, and phase changes.

General Chemistry Syllabus

CH 221: General Chemistry

Course Overview: This chemistry course is designed for students majoring in science. The knowledge
from this course describes and explains atoms, molecules, properties of substances, and physical and
chemical changes. Topics covered include the Metric System, unit conversions, significant figures, basic
quantum mechanics and the structure of the atom, bonding theories and molecular geometry, and
calculations involving the mole.
Course Goals/Learning Objectives:
By the completion of this course, students should be able to:
1. Demonstrate familiarity with basic concepts in chemistry, such as atoms, molecules, matter,
phases, and energy.
2. Report laboratory data and calculation results with the correct number of significant figures and
units. Convert values from one set of units to another.
3. Interconvert between masses, molecular and formula mass, number of moles, and number of
particles. Perform calculations involving moles such as molarity.
4. Use the electron structures of atoms and their positions on the periodic table to explain and predict
properties of atoms, types of bonding, and periodic trends.
5. Write names and formulas of ionic and covalent compounds, and draw their Lewis structures.
6. Identify molecular geometry and predict polarity, hybridization, bond orders, and bond strengths
of molecules using bonding theories.

Chemistry 538 - Organic Chemistry of Macromolecules covers the preparation, reactions, and properties of high molecular weight polymeric materials of both natural and synthetic origin. As a part of this course, U-M students collaboratively created and edited€÷Wikipediaarticles. Student contributions can be found below, within the "Wikipedia Articles" section.

5.12 is an introduction to organic chemistry, focusing primarily on the basic principles to understand the structure and reactivity of organic molecules. Emphasis is on substitution and elimination reactions and chemistry of the carbonyl group. The course also provides an introduction to the chemistry of aromatic compounds.

This 7-minute video lesson looks at naming alcohols. [Organic Chemistry playlist: Lesson 45 of 73].

Inorganic chemistry is concerned with the properties and reactivity of all chemical elements. Advanced interests focus on understanding the role of metals in biology and the environment, the design and properties of materials for energy and information technology, fundamental studies on the reactivity of main group and transition elements, and nanotechnology. Synthetic efforts are directed at hydrogen storage materials and thermoelectrics, catalysts for solar hydrogen generation, fullerenes and metal porphyrins, metal clusters and compounds with element-element bonds, as well as nanowires and nanoparticles.
