SCH4U: Organic Chemistry
Big Ideas:
1. Assess the social and environmental impact of organic compounds used in everyday life, and propose a course of action to reduce the use of compounds that are harmful to human health and the environment; 2. Investigate organic compounds and organic chemical reactions, and use various methods to represent the compounds;
3. Demonstrate an understanding of the structure, properties, and chemical behaviour of compounds within each class of organic compounds.
