Foundations of Chemistry: General & Organic Chemistry
Foundations of Chemistry: General & Organic Chemistry, Learn chemistry from the ground up — atoms, reactions, biomolecules, and beyond.
Course Description
Chemistry is often called the central science — it connects physics with biology, medicine, environmental science, and countless other fields. Whether you’re a student preparing for exams, a pre-med hopeful, or simply someone curious about how the world works at the molecular level, this course is designed to give you a comprehensive, approachable, and engaging introduction to both General and Organic Chemistry.
In this course, you’ll begin with the fundamentals of General Chemistry, where you’ll explore the building blocks of matter, the behavior of atoms and molecules, and the principles that govern chemical reactions. You’ll learn how to classify matter, balance chemical equations, understand the periodic table, and apply concepts like stoichiometry, thermochemistry, and gas laws. These foundational topics are explained clearly and visually, helping you build a strong base in chemistry — even if you’ve never studied it before.
Once you’ve mastered the basics, the course transitions into Organic Chemistry, where you’ll dive into the fascinating world of carbon-based compounds. You’ll explore how organic molecules are structured, named, and how they react. From hydrocarbons and functional groups to complex biomolecules like carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and amino acids, you’ll gain a solid understanding of the chemistry of life.
You’ll also learn about key organic chemistry concepts such as stereochemistry, resonance, aromaticity, substitution and elimination reactions, and carbonyl chemistry. These topics are presented in a way that emphasizes conceptual understanding, with real-world examples and step-by-step walkthroughs.
Whether you’re aiming to ace your chemistry class, prepare for exams like the MCAT or GRE, or build a foundation for a career in science or healthcare, this course is your all-in-one resource.
