Basic Chemistry

Course Description: Hydrocarbons and Their Derivatives

This course introduces the fundamental concepts of hydrocarbons and their derivatives, the core building blocks of organic chemistry. Learners will study the classification, nomenclature, properties, preparation, and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic compounds, and their major derivatives. The course also explores their applications in industry, medicine, and everyday life, while highlighting environmental and safety considerations. By the end of the course, participants will be able to identify, name, and predict the behavior of common organic compounds and apply these concepts to solve practical chemistry problems.
