? Content Overview:

Chapter 1: Basics of Organic Chemistry

• Introduction to organic compounds

• Classification and nomenclature

• Hybridization (sp, sp², sp³)

• Electronic effects (inductive, resonance, hyperconjugation)

• Reaction intermediates (carbocations, carbanions, free radicals)

• Types of organic reactions

Chapter 2: Stereochemistry

• Concept of isomerism

• Structural vs stereoisomers

• Optical isomerism and chirality

• Enantiomers and diastereomers

• Racemic mixtures

• Geometrical (cis-trans) isomerism

Chapter 3: Aliphatic Hydrocarbons – I

• Classification: alkanes, alkenes, alkynes

• Preparation and properties of alkanes

• Reactions: substitution, combustion, halogenation

• Alkenes: electrophilic addition, Markovnikov’s rule

• Alkynes: acidity, addition reactions

Practical Section: Organic Practical Chemistry

• Basic laboratory techniques

• Recrystallization, distillation, melting and boiling point determination

• Detection of elements (N, S, halogens)

• Functional group tests (alcohol, phenol, aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid, amines)
