Basic Organic Chemistry (Senior Secondary)

Carbon compounds form the physical basis of all life on Earth. This course explains the fundamental principles of organic chemistry for senior secondary students. You will study the tetravalency of carbon, structural isomerism, and the rules of IUPAC nomenclature. We also teach you how to determine empirical and molecular formulae from analytical data. Understanding these core concepts provides the necessary foundation before you study complex organic reactions. The principles of organic chemistry apply directly to major global industries. Petroleum refining, medicine manufacturing, and agriculture depend on the precise identification of carbon compounds. In Nigeria, a strong grasp of these concepts is highly relevant for careers in the oil and gas sector. You can apply this structural logic to understand how everyday materials like plastics, fuels, and drugs are formulated and categorised. By completing this course, you will acquire specific analytical skills. You will learn to draw valid structural representations of carbon chains and rings. You will be able to apply the rules of IUPAC nomenclature to name simple organic compounds accurately. Furthermore, you will calculate the empirical formula and the molecular formula of an unknown compound using percentage composition data and the molar mass of the substance. This course targets senior secondary school students preparing for WAEC, NECO, and JAMB examinations. It gives science students a rigorous preparation for tertiary education. However, it also serves as a rapid refresher for first-year university students struggling with foundational chemistry. Anyone interested in the chemical sciences will benefit from mastering the structural logic of carbon compounds.
