chemistry covering the structures, properties and
reactivity of organic compounds. Emphasis is on
molecular orbital theory, functional group reactivity,
nomenclature, substitution and elimination mechanisms,
stereochemistry, chemical equilibria and spectroscopy.
Laboratory techniques include isolation, purification,
synthetic procedures and spectroscopy. This is the first
semester of a two semester sequence.

CHEM 282 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Units: 5.0 - 48-54 hours lecture and 96-108 hours
laboratory. CSU, UC. (Prerequisite: CHEM 281 with a
“C” or better).
Principles and experimental techniques developed in
CHEM 281 are extended to include synthesis and
identification, nomenclature, derivatives, spectroscopy,
and reactions of functional groups, heterocycles, and
aromatic compounds. Biochemistry of carbohydrates,
lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and other biologically
significant compounds is also examined.
CHILD DEVELOPMENT
The Child Development program provides courses that
prepare students to enter the field of early childhood
education. Courses are designed to give students
fundamental skills in working with children in a variety of
settings, as well as a strong theoretical understanding of
